Do you know what it is?

Astronomers have detected a super rare cosmic formation.  It is called a skinny black hole.  It gets the name because of its appetite or lack thereof for stars.  It is very baffling and they just found it.  As you likely know a black hole feeds on mass…lots of it.  And stars are needed (at least we are pretty sure) to grow them.  Here is a bit more on this unusual find:

An astrophysicist has discovered something even rarer than a double-black hole galaxy: a skinny black hole.

Comerford speculates the slim black hole either lost mass in the collision of two galaxies that merged into this one — a crash diet. Or it’s a rare example of an intermediate-sized black hole that will grow.

Do you think it is a true skinny one or perhaps their second explanation?
And here is more about the name of this mysterious galaxy:

CU-Boulder shows the galaxy SDSS J1126+2944 taken with the Hubble Space Telescope and the Chandra X-ray Observatory, with an arrow placed by the source pointing to a black hole that lost most of its stars. The University of Colorado’s Julie Comerford has discovered something even rarer than a double-black hole galaxy: a skinny black hole. Her findings were reported Tuesday, Jan 5, 2016 at the American Astronomical Society’s annual meeting.

We hope you like the video and feel free to comment with your ideas.

This video shows what happens when two back holes merge which is very opposite of the skinny finding.  At least we think so.
