UCLA牵头研究：宇宙初期恒星碰撞合并 或解释首批超大质量黑洞如何形成
加州大学洛杉矶分校（UCLA）10月26日在其每日要闻中介绍：一项由 UCLA 牵头的新研究提出，宇宙婴儿期的恒星彼此碰撞并合并，可能正是宇宙第一批「怪物」黑洞的形成方式，为这个长期未解之谜提供了新的解释。
超大质量黑洞如何能在宇宙早期如此之快地出现，一直是天文学界的难题。研究认为，在宇宙最初的阶段，恒星之间的碰撞与合并不断累积质量，或为这些巨型黑洞的诞生提供了路径。
这项研究由 UCLA 媒体关系办公室在 10 月 26 日的 UCLA Daily Highlights 中对外介绍。同日的 UCLA 每日要闻还包括加州选民选举日指南、CRISPR 基因编辑研究等校园动态。
UCLA-Led Study: Stars Colliding and Merging in the Early Universe May Explain How the First 'Monster' Black Holes Formed
The University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) featured a new UCLA-led study on October 26 proposing that stars colliding and merging in the universe's infancy may explain how the universe's first "monster" black holes formed, offering a new answer to a long-standing mystery.
How supermassive black holes could appear so early in cosmic history has long puzzled astronomers. The study suggests that in the universe's earliest phase, stars crashing into and merging with one another could have built up the mass that seeded these giant black holes.
The study was presented by UCLA Media Relations in the October 26 edition of UCLA Daily Highlights, which also carried a California voter guide for Election Day and an item on CRISPR gene-editing research.
