Zooming to Newly Awakened Black Hole in Galaxy SDSS1335+0728 | ESO

Zooming to Newly Awakened Black Hole in Galaxy SDSS1335+0728 | ESO

This video zooms into the galaxy SDSS1335+0728. In late 2019 it suddenly started shining brighter than ever before and was classified as having an active galactic nucleus (AGN). This is the first time the awakening of a massive black hole has been observed in real time.

Images shown here were taken with different telescopes at different times. They have been blended together to create this zoom.

This research was presented in a paper entitled “SDSS1335+0728: The awakening of a ∼ 106M⊙ black hole” published in Astronomy & Astrophysics (https://aanda.org/10.1051/0004-6361/202347957).
