Supermassive black hole found to rotate near speed of light

Spinning black hole sprays lightspeed plasma clouds into space ICRAR

This "megaflare" was nearly three times brighter than the previous brightest X-ray flare from Sgr A* in early 2012. After Sgr A* settled down, Chandra observed another enormous X-ray flare 200 times brighter than usual on Oct. 20, 2014. Astronomers estimate that G2 was closest to the black hole in the spring of 2014, 15 billion miles away.

For the first time ever, we've seen a black hole being silently born

The resulting X-ray flare emission was observed as it hit local stellar gases, producing the light echo. This event gives us a better insight to how stars are eaten by supermassive black holes and.

This, in turn, can form an accretion disk around the black hole that emits powerful X-rays and visible light. The jets are one way astronomers can indirectly infer the presence of a black hole.

Black hole warped by Xray transient perhaps SYFY WIRE

A study reports the measurement of the polarization degree and angle of X-rays from Sagittarius A* reflected off a nearby cloud, indicating an X-ray flare about 200 years ago.

A supermassive black hole is shooting Xrays across galaxies

The innermost regions of accretion disks around black holes are strongly irradiated by X-rays that are emitted from a highly variable, compact corona, in the immediate vicinity of the black hole1-3.

NASA SVS Xray Nova Flaring Black Hole animation

An explosive flare from the Milky Way's central black hole has been translated from 'a single flickering pixel' into a detailed 3D model using AI and Einstein's general relativity equations.

Black holes reveal themselves in the Xray spectrum Hard Science Fiction

A supermassive black hole sends out relativistic jets accompanied by a gamma ray burst. (Image credit: NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center) The team focused on models of GRBs produced when black.

Xray laser turns molecule into tiny 'black hole' Futurity

Illustration via David A. Aguilar (CfA) On September 14, 2013, the Chandra X-ray observatory caught a flare from the supermassive black hole at the center of our Milky Way galaxy. The flare was.

Large black hole flare observed by NuSTAR, Swift missions

Hard x-ray emission during the flare could be due to soft x-ray photons inverse Compton-scattered by hot electrons (Comptonization) within the jet or the ADAF. Given that the radio emission originated from the jet , but the radio flare lagged the x-ray by ~8 days, we ruled out the possibility that x-rays were emitted by the jet. We therefore.

XRay Flare Echo Reveals Supermassive Black Hole Torus Universe Today

The flare, recorded from 26,000 light years away, is 150 times brighter than the black hole's normal X-ray luminosity. Scientists observed the flare for more than one hour before it faded away. This brief burst of activity, they say, may be a clue to how mature black holes like Sagittarius A* behave.

NASA Xray observatory reveals how black holes swallow stars Space

A giant x-ray flare from the heart of our galaxy¿recorded by the Chandra X-ray Observatory last year¿has brought astronomers closer than ever to a black hole that most believe lurks there.

Most Distant Black Hole XRay Blast Discovered Fox News

In this case, the X-ray flare observed was so bright that some of the X-rays shone down onto the disk of gas falling into the black hole. As the flares subsided, the telescopes picked up fainter.

Supermassive black hole found to rotate near speed of light

The timescale for the ionization breakout of X-ray radiation is found about several months for a black hole of M BH ~ 10 6 M ⊙ 16, in agreement with the observed time delay of X-ray brightening.

Simulation of a black hole in Xray by ESA r/Earthmind

The supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way galaxy recently spit out the largest X-ray flare ever seen in that region, astronomers reported this week at the 225th meeting of the.

No astronomer has ever seen a blackhole here are the images of what

The interaction between the supermassive black hole at the centre of the Milky Way, Sagittarius A*, and its accretion disk occasionally produces high-energy flares seen in X-ray, infrared and radio.

Orbiter.ch Space News NASA's NuSTAR Spots Flare From Milky Way's Black

Using the ESA's XMM-Newton and NASA's NuSTAR space telescopes, Wilkins and his team observed bright X-ray flares coming from around a supermassive black hole (SMBH) located at the center of I Zwicky 1 - a spiral galaxy located 1,800 light-years from Earth. Astronomers were not expecting to see this, but because of the SMBH's extreme gravity (which comes from 10 million Solar masses.
