The researcher and professor at the Faculty of Optics of the University of Murcia (UMU) Óscar del Barco Novillo published an article in the British magazine Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society in which he suggests an astrophysical scenario where large black holes could be detected. tiny.
The study, which exposes a scenario where “a black hole of atomic size is captured by another supermassive”, that is, of greater mass, is in charge of analyzing the connection between these holes and the energetic emissions of the universe or ‘gamma ray bursts ‘, sources from the educational institution reported in a statement.

“As the first approaches the event horizon of the second, the fraction of Hawking radiation that we can detect from Earth gradually decreases, until it reaches the size of a ray of light,” said the researcher. The ‘thermal gamma ray bursts’ could be the experimental proof of the existence of these tiny black holes. In addition, according to various studies, they would be carriers of a part of the dark matter in the universe, of which there is still much to discover.

“Stellar matter rotates at enormous speeds around the black hole and its brightness can be detected when it reaches temperatures of one million degrees Celsius,” said Novillo. In addition, considering that black holes that do not gain mass by other means end up evaporating and disappearing, the right scenario can be created to capture these small black holes. When asked how one can obtain an image of an object that traps light and, therefore, would not allow it to be seen, del Barco explained that “we do not observe the object itself, but rather the remains of a star that is being swallowed by the black hole.
