Scientists have put forward a new hypothesis for the emergence of supermassive black holes

There are several hypotheses for the creation of supermassive black holes. According to the most obvious, the embryos

supermassive black holes formed after the first massive stars died in the early universe, and then they began to collect surrounding gas until they finally became supermassive black holes.

However, not everyone in the scientific community agrees with this. Because the most massive stars observed in the local universe have a mass of about one or two hundred solar masses.

In order for them to form after death the supermassive black holes observed today, the accretion rates must be so high that it is difficult to imagine in real conditions.

According to one hypothesis, supermassive black holes form when large gas clouds collapse and turn into a relativistic star with a mass of several hundred thousand solar masses or more.

The authors of the new work built a model in which supermassive black holes emerged from supermassive supernovae. 

According to the authors' calculations, one of these supernovae can be observed using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), which will be launched in late 2021.
