Astronomers who study a distant galaxy group encountered the old radio signals that could have clues about the formation of the early universe.
While studying the distant galaxies group known as SPARCS1049, astronomers detected weak mysterious radio waves, according to a study published in the Astrophysical Diario and Available letters on the XRXIV Preprint server.
The discovered radio waves, which took 10 billion years to reach the Earth, originated in a vast region of space full of high -energy particles and magnetic fields.
These vast clouds of high-energy particles are known as Mini-Falo. A mini halo has never been detected so deep in space before, according to the study.

The mini-doos are described in the study as weak groups of loaded particles. It is known that these groups emit radio and X-ray waves. Mini-Halos are typically found in groups between galaxies.
Roland Timmerman of the Institute of Computational Cosmology of the University of Durham and co -author of the study said in a statement at Phys.org how these particles are important for the creation of our universe.
“It is surprising to find such a strong radio sign at this distance,” Timmerman said. “It means that these energy particles and the processes that create them have been shaping the galaxies groups during almost the entire history of the universe.”

Astronomers analyzed data from the low frequency matrix radio (Lofar) radio. The Look is composed of 100,000 small antennas in eight European countries, according to the study.
The astronomer team believes that there are two causes for the composition of these mini halos.
According to the study, the first explanation is the supermassive black holes found in the heart of the galaxies. These black holes can release high energy particles to space.
Astronomers are perplexed on how these particles would escape a black hole so powerful to create these groups.

The second explanation, according to the study, are cosmic particles collisions.
These collisions of cosmic particles occur when loaded particles full of hot plasma clash at speeds close to light. These collisions separate, allowing high -energy particles to be observed from Earth.
According to the study, astronomers now believe that this discovery suggests that black holes or particle collisions have been energizing galaxies before what was previously believed.
The new telescopes that develop as the matrix of square kilometers will eventually allow astronomers to detect even more weak signs.

Julie Hlavacek-Larrondo of the University of Montreal and co-leader of the study said in a statement that he believes that this is only the beginning for the wonders of space.
“We are scratching the surface of how energetic was the early universe,” said Hlavacek-Larrondo in the statement. “This discovery gives us a new window on how galaxies groups grow and evolve, driven by black and physics of high -energy particles.”
