An object in the center of our galaxy could be a clump of dark matter, not a black hole

A team of researchers found evidence that Sagittarius A * is not a supermassive black hole, but a mass of dark matter.

Previously, the scientific community agreed thatAt the center of the Milky Way is a massive object with the characteristic properties of a huge black hole. However, these conclusions were made based on studying not the object itself, but the behavior of the bodies around it. Now a team from the International Center for Relativistic Astrophysics has suggested that similar reactions from other bodies are capable ofcause another type of body mass, which may even help explain some of the observed anomalies.

Seven years ago, astrophysicists recordedan oddity that could have been explained: the gas cloud next to Sagittarius A * moved to a position close enough to be destroyed and covered by the black hole, but instead it continued on its way unscathed.

In their work, the researchers suggest thatthe object at the center of our galaxy is not a black hole, but a lump of dark matter from putative darkino fermions. The simulation showed that in this case, the gas cloud would be able to pass by him, as actually happened. In this case, the mass of dark matter would have the same effect on the Milky Way as a supermassive black hole.

Recall that astronomers recently discovered signs of antimatter stars on the outskirts of our galaxy.
