Mientras estudiaban una dupla de galaxias en colisión cercanas con el Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) —un observatorio internacional coadministrado por el Observatorio Radioastronómico Nacional (NRAO, en su sigla en inglés) de la Fundación Nacional de Ciencia de Estados Unidos—, un equipo científico descubrió dos agujeros negros supermasivos creciendo juntos cerca del centro de la nueva galaxia en ciernes. Es la primera vez que se observa en longitudes de onda múltiples a dos mastodontes hambrientos como estos tan cerca el uno del otro. El estudio también reveló que los agujeros negros binarios y las galaxias en colisión que los originan pueden ser fenómenos sorprendentemente comunes en el Universo.

While studying a nearby pair of merging galaxies using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA)— an international observatory co-operated by the U.S. National Science Foundation’s National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO)— scientists discovered two supermassive black holes growing simultaneously near the center of the newly coalescing galaxy. These super-hungry giants are the closest together that scientists have ever observed in multiple wavelengths. What’s more, the new research reveals that binary black holes and the galaxy mergers that create them may be surprisingly commonplace in the Universe. The results of the new research were published today in The Astrophysical Journal Letters, and presented in a press conference at the 241st meeting of the American Astronomical Society (AAS) in Seattle, Washington.

Las ondas de choque generadas por la violenta colisión entre una galaxia intrusa y el Quinteto de Stephan están ayudando a la comunidad astronómica a entender cómo la turbulencia incide en el gas presente en el medio intergaláctico. Las nuevas observaciones realizadas con el Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) y el telescopio espacial James Webb revelaron que una explosión sónica varias veces más grande que la Vía Láctea dio origen a un proceso de reciclaje de gas de hidrógeno molecular frío y caliente. También se observó la desintegración de una nube gigante que se convirtió en una niebla de gas caliente, así como la posible colisión de dos nubes que dejaron una mancha de gas caliente a su alrededor y la formación de una nueva galaxia. Los resultados de estas observaciones se presentaron hoy durante una conferencia de prensa en la asamblea n.o 241 de la Sociedad Astronómica de Estados Unidos (AAS, en su sigla en inglés) en Seattle (Washington, Estados Unidos).

Shockwaves resulting from the violent collision between an intruder galaxy and Stephan’s Quintet are helping astronomers to understand how turbulence influences gas in the intergalactic medium. New observations with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) and the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have revealed that a sonic boom several times the size of the Milky Way has kickstarted a recycling plant for warm and cold molecular hydrogen gas. What’s more, scientists uncovered the break-up of a giant cloud into a fog of warm gas, the possible collision of two clouds forming a splash of warm gas around them, and the formation of a new galaxy. The observations were presented today in a press conference at the 241st meeting of the American Astronomical Society (AAS) in Seattle, Washington.

Scientists used patient stem cells and 3D bioprinting to produce eye tissue that will advance understanding of the mechanisms of blinding diseases. The research team from the National Eye Institute (NEI), part of the National Institutes of Health, printed a combination of cells that form the outer blood-retina barrier—eye tissue that supports the retina's light-sensing photoreceptors. The technique provides a theoretically unlimited supply of patient-derived tissue to study degenerative retinal diseases such as age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
