Thermonuclear Explosions on Neutron Stars Shed Light on Jet Speed
New study in Nature reveals insights into the speed of neutron star jets through thermonuclear explosions. Researchers measure the speed of a neutron star compact jet to be v=0.38c, shedding light on jet launching mechanisms and system properties.
Astronomers Witness Powerful Jets Ejected from Supermassive Black Hole Perseus A
Astronomers have made a groundbreaking observation of the supermassive black hole, Perseus A, using the Event Horizon Telescope. This discovery sheds light on the battle between magnetism and gravity within black holes, providing valuable insights into their feeding mechanisms and the formation of powerful jets that extend far beyond their host galaxies.
