A group of astronomers from Argentina, Spain, Italy, the USA and India has discovered a binary supermassive black hole system in the Blazar AO 0235+164. The system will be a strong candidate for future detection of gravitational waves(GWs).<\/span><\/p>\n Blazars are super massive black holes(SMBH) feeding on gas in the heart of a very distant galaxy. They are among the most luminous and energetic objects in the Universe.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n When the jet, composed of ionized matter travelling at nearly the speed of light, is pointed towards an observer, it is called a blazar.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The blazar AO 0235+164 is unique as it is gravitationally lensed by intervening galaxies.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Note: <\/b>Gravitational Lensing is a phenomenon by which <\/span>light shining from far away is bent and pulled by the gravity of an object between its source and the observer.<\/span><\/p>\n Significance<\/b>: Blazar AO 0235+164 is the first binary SMBH gravitationally lensed system.
