Black Hole Jets Pack Power of 10,000 Suns, Stunning New Study Reveals
New observations reveal how black hole jets behave under pressure, offering a crucial benchmark for understanding their role in cosmic evolution. A new study led by Curtin University has used a global network of radio telescopes to capture images that reveal the enormous energy carried by jets from black holes. The results support long-standing ideas [...]
Researchers took an important step to understand how black holes influence the universe by directly measuring the power of their jets for the first time. Using a global network of radio telescopes, the team led by the University of Curtin obtained detailed images that show how energetic these structures can be — results that reinforce ancient theories about the role of black holes in the formation of galaxies.
Unveiling the Cosmic Dance: Cygnus X-1 and the Power of Black Hole Jets
Introduction In the realm of astrophysics, few phenomena capture the imagination quite like black holes. These enigmatic objects represent the ultimate extremes of gravitational pull and energy release. Among the most well-studied black holes is Cygnus X-1, the first confirmed black hole discovered in 1964. Recent research spanning 18 years of radio-telescope observations from Oxford University has unveiled astonishing new insights about this co…
Researchers have determined the energy of the plasma currents of the black hole Cygnus X-1. The jets reach half the light and shine as bright as ten thousand suns. The star winds of an accompanying star served as a measurement. (Continue reading)
In the vast cosmos, there are forces whose sheer magnitude eludes human imagination. A new discovery is now focusing on a phenomenon that could be considered a major factor in the development of entire galaxies over millions of years. read more on t3n.de
