Black holes have become common in the media landscape of recent years and despite the enigmas that still surround them and that touch on very profound questions of theoretical physics, they are commonly considered in astrophysics and in cosmology.

Black holes are among the most opaque objects in the Universe. Fortunately, however, they are among the most attractive, and it is because of their excessive power of attraction that we can detect them. Giant black holes are the most monstrous ogres in the cosmic zoo, but they are not weapons of mass destruction. The jets of matter they produce would have helped ignite the first stars and form the first galaxies.

However, we know that most stars form binary systems, so we should expect there to be a certain number of these. binaries X in the Milky Way. However, it is also possible that the distance between a stellar black hole and its companion star is such that no appreciable transfer of material occurs. So there is no diskaccretion and no X-ray emission, too, for example because the star has not yet become a red giant that has expanded to the point of overflowing what is called its Roche lobe, named after the mathematician and astronomer 19th century frenchme century.
The first peak to emerge from a population of dormant black holes
This type of stellar black hole is said to be ” asleep and so far none have been detected. That has just changed thanks to an international team of astronomers who used the Flames instrument for their discovery (Fiber Large Array Multi-element Spectrograph) in In 1993, ESO launched the VLT (Very Large Telescope) project and decided to install it at the Cerro Paranal site in the Chilean Andes, where the climate is particularly favorable for astronomical observations. It is…” data-image=”https://cdn.futura-sciences.com/buildsv6/images/midioriginal/f/0/7/f073110cb2_50034377_vlt.jpg” data-url=”https://news.google .com/sciences/definitions/universe-vlt-2147/” data-more=”Read more”>VLT of’IT’SAs the researchers explain in an article published in nature astronomy.
To do this, they had to turn the VLT’s gaze towards the nebula of the Tarantula located in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a neighboring galaxy to ours. Six years of observations took the team led by Tomer Shenar, who began this research at KU Leuven in Belgium and is now a Marie-Curie Fellow at the University of Amsterdam in the Netherlands.
The candidate for the title of sleeping black hole has been named VFTS 243. It contains at least nine times the mass of our own. The Sun is the closest star to Earth, from which it is approximately 150 million kilometers away. The Sun is 8.5 kparsecs from the center of the Milky Way. In stellar classification, the sun is a G2-type star.

” The star that formed the black hole of VFTS 243 appears to have completely collapsed, with no signs of an earlier explosion.explains Tomer Shenar in an ESO statement in which he adds, Evidence for this “direct collapse” scenario has only recently emerged, but our study provides possibly one of the most direct indications.
