Black hole breaks the “speed limit”: astronomers spot a quasar feeding 13x faster than theory
A quasar 12 billion light-years away is feeding its black hole at 13 times the Eddington limit, researchers report. The object, eFEDS J084222.9+001000, remains bright in both X-rays and radio, defying current models. The findings, based on Subaru Telescope data, appear in The Astrophysical Journal.
