Scientists uncover a hidden power source inside a monster black hole
Scientists have simulated how M87*, the supermassive black hole at the center of the galaxy M87, powers its immense particle jet. The Frankfurt team’s FPIC code shows that magnetic reconnection, where magnetic field lines snap and reform, works alongside the traditional Blandford-Znajek mechanism to release rotational energy. These findings shed new light on how black holes energize the cosmos and shape galaxies.
How black holes produce powerful relativistic jets
A hundred years before the Event Horizon Telescope Collaboration released the first image of a black hole in 2019—located at the heart of the galaxy M87—astronomer Heber Curtis had already discovered a strange jet protruding from the galaxy's center. Today, we know this to be the jet of the black hole M87*. Such jets are also emitted by other black holes. Theoretical astrophysicists at Goethe University have now developed a numerical code to des…
Scientists have developed a numerical code that allows them to mathematically describe how black hole jets form. This will allow for a better understanding of how these incredibly dense objects affect their surroundings, accelerating matter to nearly the speed of light. The article "How Black Hole Jets Form" comes from the website Wszystko co mojego.
