Astronomers in the U.K.<\/a> have discovered one of the largest black holes ever found.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The team, led by Durham University, used gravitational lensing to find the ultramassive black hole.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Gravitational lensing occurs when a celestial object has such a massive gravitational pull that it warps time and space around it, bending the light from a more distant object and magnifying it.\u00a0<\/p>\n

They also used supercomputer simulation on the DiRAC integrated supercomputing facility, enabling researchers to examine how light is bent by a black hole inside a galaxy located hundreds of millions of light-years away.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A university release said that the group simulated light traveling through the universe hundreds of thousands of times, with each simulation including a different mass black hole \u2013 changing light\u2019s journey to Earth. <\/p>\n

By including an ultramassive black hole in one of their simulations, they found that the path taken from the light from the galaxy to reach Earth matched one seen in real images captured by the Hubble Space Telescope.\u00a0<\/p>\n

They found an ultramassive black hole<\/a> in the foreground galaxy \u2013 an object that is more than 30 billion times the mass of the sun.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Durham University said this is the first black hole found using gravitational lensing. Durham University astronomer Professor Alastair Edge first noticed a giant arc of a gravitational lens when reviewing images of a galaxy survey in 2004.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Most of the biggest black holes that we know about are in an active state, where matter pulled in close to the black hole heats up and releases energy in the form of light, X-rays, and other radiation,” Lead author Dr. James Nightingale said in a statement.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“However, gravitational lensing makes it possible<\/a> to study inactive black holes, something not currently possible in distant galaxies. This approach could let us detect many more black holes beyond our local universe and reveal how these exotic objects evolved further back in cosmic time,” the physics department professor said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The findings were published in a study \u2013 which also includes Germany’s Max Planck Institute \u2013 in the journal Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society.<\/i><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
