Is there a relationship between the mass of a bh and its host galaxy or the age of its host galaxy. (the more distance we look the bigger the bh) ?
A black hole is a region of space where the gravitational pull is so strong that nothing, including light, can escape its grasp. It is formed when a massive star collapses in on itself, leaving behind a singularity with a strong gravitational field.
The mass of a black hole can be measured through various methods, including measuring the effects of its gravity on surrounding objects, observing the movement of stars near the black hole, or studying the radiation emitted from the accretion disk around the black hole.
A black hole is thought to exist at the center of every galaxy, including our own Milky Way. The mass of the black hole is directly related to the mass of its host galaxy, and they both grow in size and mass together through a process called galactic evolution.
The mass of a black hole can have a significant impact on its host galaxy. As the black hole grows, it can release powerful jets of energy that can influence the gas and dust in the galaxy, affecting star formation and the overall evolution of the galaxy.
Studying the mass of black holes and their host galaxies has provided a deeper understanding of how galaxies evolve and the role that black holes play in this process. It has also helped to confirm theories about the relationship between black holes and the formation of stars and galaxies in the early universe.
