Relativistic jet detected in active galaxy Markarian 110

Astronomers have conducted very long baseline Interferometry (VLBI) observations of an active galaxy known as Markarian 110. As a result, they detected a relativistic jet in this galaxy. The finding was reported in a research paper published June 4 on the arXiv pre-print server.

Astronomers Just Discovered One of the Fastest Jets Ever in a Radio-Quiet Galaxy

Astronomers have made a significant discovery in the study of active galaxies with the detection of a relativistic jet in Markarian 110. This breakthrough was revealed in a research paper published on June 4, 2025, on arXiv. By utilizing Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) with the Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA) and the European VLBI Network (EVN), scientists have captured high-resolution data of this galaxy’s jet activity. These findings …
