Astronomers know that black hole jets are fueled by material swept up by the cosmic behemoths and expelled before it can ...

In particular, the study looks at the high-energy jet of particles being blasted across space by the supermassive black hole ...

Black holes exert a tremendous influence on their surroundings, meaning that when they spin, they literally drag the very fabric of space and time around with them. That means nothing can sit still ...

This mind-boggling structure—nicknamed Porphyrion, after a giant from Greek mythology—contains the largest black hole jets physicists have ever seen, a team reported in Nature last month. And its ...

Using NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory, astronomers studied the jets of a black hole at the center of Centaurus A, watching ...

Astronomers revisited decades-old data from NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory, discovering bright, clumped “knots” in an ...

New research from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory uncovers fast-moving knots in black hole jets, highlighting differences in ...

Now, researchers using NASA's Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) have gathered data about 12 known black holes to determine the structural properties of accretion disks around different sized ...

University of Michigan researchers have tapped into two decades of NASA's Chandra X-Ray Observatory data to unveil fresh insights into the behaviors of cosmic jets emitted by black holes. Their ...

Gas swirling around black holes forms disks that are among the most effective energy converters in the universe, emitting ...

In particular, the study looks at the high-energy jet of particles being blasted across space by the supermassive black hole at the center of the galaxy Centaurus A. Jets are visible to different ...

NASA’s Chandra spots unusual 'knots' in a nearby black hole jet. X-ray data shows bright knots in Centaurus A black hole’s ...
