Darkish matter halos measured round historical quasars

On the middle of each galaxy is a supermassive black gap. Past a sure dimension, these turn into lively, emitting enormous quantities of radiation, and are then referred to as quasars. It’s thought these are activated by the presence of large darkish matter halos (DMH) surrounding the galaxy, directing matter in direction of the middle, feeding the black gap. A group has now surveyed a whole bunch of historical quasars and located this habits could be very constant all through historical past. That is stunning, as many large-scale processes present variation all through the lifetime of the universe, so the mechanism of quasar activation may have implications for the evolution of the whole universe.
