Scientists find another medium-sized black hole lurking near the supermassive black hole Sagittarius A
(Sgr A
) at the heart of the Milky Way, some 27,000 light-years from Earth .
The team, led by Florian Peiker of the University of Cologne , discovered this intermediate-mass black hole while assessing the star cluster IRS 13 , located around 0.1 light years from Sgr A
..
X-rays from the star cluster indicate ionizing gas rotating at speeds of hundreds of thousands of miles per hour.
That hot ionized gas could be swirling around the maw of this newly discovered intermediate-mass black hole.
This would provide astronomers with another "missing" black hole link, and may explain a lingering mystery surrounding IRS 13 .
