Building on the work of several other research groups, my collaborator Giuseppe Lodato and I published a set of papers in 2006 and 2007 in which we proposed a novel mechanism that could have produced more massive
black hole seeds from the get - go.

holes of a box grater) 2 garlic cloves, grated or finely minced 1 chipotle pepper canned in adobo 2 teaspoons adobo sauce

seeds for aesthetic purposes, but
black will also work!)

In effect, if the first quasars grew
from Population III
black hole seeds, they would have had to eat faster than the Eddington rate.
Traditional
black hole seeds, on the other hand, which derive
from dead stars, are likely to be too faint for the JWST or other telescopes to see.
It is difficult to imagine a scenario in which the
black holes powering the first quasars grew
from seeds this small.
If
black hole seeds come
from stars, the process should have given every dwarf galaxy its own supermassive
black hole.
The amplitude and frequency of these waves could reveal the initial mass of the
seeds from which the first
black holes grew since they were formed 13 billion years ago and provide further clues about what caused them and where they formed, the researchers said.
The simplest model says our
black hole formed gradually
from a single
seed, slowly eating up the stars and smaller
black holes around it.
And earlier this year, astronomers showed that the early, distant universe is missing the glow of x-ray light that would be expected
from a multitude of small
black holes — another sign favoring the sudden birth of big
seeds that go on to be supermassive
black holes.
If the gas cloud named CO -0.40-0.22, located only 200 light - years away
from the center of the Milky Way, does contain an intermediate
black hole, it would provide scientists an opportunity to test the theory that supermassive
black holes evolve
from these lower - mass
seeds.
