International teams of astronomers monitoring a supermassive black hole in the heart of a distant galaxy have detected features never seen before using data from NASA missions and other facilities.
For the first time, scientists witness a supermassive black hole releasing jets of material at immense speeds, offering a glimpse into jet formation and propagation in active galactic nuclei.
Astronomers used Chandra and VLBA to study 16 supermassive black holes, revealing jets that changed direction significantly over millions of years. Stellar-mass black holes form when massive stars ...
She uses radio spectroscopy of stellar flares to search for extrasolar space weather events such as coronal mass ejections and stellar aurorae. She uses the VLA and VLBA and has worked on a team ...
