An international group of astronomers reports the detection of a black hole in a ball cluster known as NGC 1850. This object, which is part of the double system, refers to black star masses and approximately 11 times the massive sun. Details on opening are available in the preprints repository ARXIV.ORG.
To date, scientists reported only about several direct detects of black holes that are in double systems inside the stellar clusters. Such black holes look like an invisible object around which a large star rotates. Moreover, it has not yet been reported on the direct dynamic detection of a black hole in a young massive cluster. The opening of such objects may be crucial for understanding the early dynamic evolution of black holes in high-density environments.
The object marked as NGC 1850 BH1 was detected in the NGC 1850 – young (about 100 million years) and massive (with a mass of about 100 thousand solar masses) with a ball cluster in a large magtel cloud. It consists of a black hole and stars of the main sequence, which is about 4.9 times with a massive sun. The period of treatment is 5.04 days, and the tilt of the orbit is 38 degrees.
It is expected that in the future, the star will turn into a giant, which will lead to the transfer of the substance from it to the black hole and the occurrence of X-ray radiation. MassOpenos, most likely, will end when most of the hydrogen membrane of the donor star will be transferred to the companion, and the kernel of the helium star will remain. In the end, there will be a pair of black hole-white dwarf.
