A Relativistic Jet Could be an Indication of the 'Missing-Link' for Black Holes
Astronomers using the U.S. National Science Foundation Very Large Array (NSF VLA) have detected an extraordinary burst of radio light from a rare cosmic event in which an intermediate-mass black hole tears apart a star, revealing what appears to be the off-axis afterglow of a powerful jet.
An unusual flash of light from the depths of space gave science many years of riddles. The combination of sky patterns and elaborate computer simulations now reveals a completely new picture of this phenomenon. read more on t3n.de
Chinese astronomers have identified a rare transient event in a dwarf galaxy 3.4 billion light-years from Earth. The phenomenon, named AT2019ijn, occurred when an intermediate-mass black hole destroyed a star, resulting in a relativistic jet. Details of the discovery were published in the journal *Astrophysical Journal Letters*. Discovery of transient event in dwarf galaxy The AT2019ijn event was initially detected by an intense blue glow in opt…
