Article Synopsis
- - Recent research suggests that supermassive black holes may suppress star formation in massive galaxies by driving large outflows, but concrete evidence has been scarce, especially in the young universe where star formation happens quickly.
- - Although outflows of ionized gas are commonly observed, they don’t contain enough mass to hinder star formation, with more effective gas ejection expected in neutral and molecular phases that are only seen in more extreme conditions like starbursts and quasars.
- - New spectroscopy from the JWST reveals a massive galaxy at a redshift of 2.445 undergoing rapid star formation suppression, detecting a significant outflow of neutral gas that should effectively halt star creation, indicating that supermassive black holes can rapidly quench
