Recording the first direct image of a black hole emitting a powerful jet

Astronomers have captured the first direct image of a black hole as it erupts in a powerful fountain. This is the same black hole that mankind saw its image for the first time.

Now this new image shows the supermassive black hole at the heart of the galaxy Messier 87 (M87) as it emits a powerful jet.

This image shows for the first time how an astrophysical jet traveling at close to the speed of light is attached to matter orbiting a super black hole. A process that astronomers call “accretion”.

Of course, previous images of the central superblack hole of the M87 galaxy had managed to capture the fountain emitted by it and the superblack hole itself, but so far had not captured these two features together.

“This new image completes the picture by simultaneously showing the region around the black hole and this fountain,” said Jae Yong Kim, a member of the research team from Kyungpuk National University in South Korea and the Max Planck Institute.

The first historical image of the central black hole M87, which has a mass of 6.5 billion times that of the Sun and is located 55 million light-years from Earth, was captured by the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) in 2017 and unveiled two years later.

This new image of M87 and its outflow was created using 2018 data from the GMVA telescope, the Greenland telescope, and the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), which worked together to form an Earth-sized array. give Most or all large galaxies are believed to host superblack holes at their cores, and some of these giants, such as the black hole at the center of M87, consume large amounts of matter in the form of gas, dust, and even nearby stars.

As a result, these hungry monsters are exploding and spewing out powerful fountains of matter traveling at near-light speeds that can travel thousands of light-years and extend, sometimes beyond the boundaries of their host galaxies. they are going. However, how superblack holes do this is still not fully understood.

“We know that jets are ejected from the region around black holes, but we still don’t fully understand how this happens,” said study team member Ruo-Shen Lu from the Shanghai Astronomical Observatory. To study this directly, we need to observe the source of the fountain as close to the black hole as possible.

In addition to showing the fountain as it emerges from the superblack hole, this new image also shows what scientists call the black hole’s shadow.

As the matter orbits the superblack hole at near-light speed thanks to the immense gravitational pull of this cosmic monster, the matter heats up and glows.

The new image of the super black hole M87 differs from the EHT telescope image in that it shows the region at longer wavelengths of light, which affects what astronomers can see in the region.

“At this wavelength, we can see how the fountain exits the emission ring around the central superblack hole,” says Thomas Krichbaum of the Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy.

The size of the black hole ring in this new image is also 50% larger than the EHT image. According to the scientists, this difference showed that the M87 superblack hole is gobbling up material at a faster rate than previously thought.

In addition, the sensitivity of ALMA, which consists of 66 antennas in the Atacama Desert in northern Chile, and the GLT and GMVA telescopes, which consist of 14 radio telescopes in Europe and North America, allowed astronomers to use a process called interferometry used to synchronize the signals and correctly reveal the black hole’s shadow and observe greater depth in the fountain’s emission.

Using this network of telescopes, astronomers will now work to better understand how hungry superblack holes throw off powerful fountains of matter. These simultaneous observations allow the research group to tease apart the complex processes that occur near the superblack hole.

“We plan to observe the region around the black hole at the center of M87 at different radio wavelengths to further study the emission of this fountain,” says Eduardo Ross of the Max Planck Institute. It’s exciting because you can learn more about what’s going on near one of the world’s most mysterious regions.

The research of this group has recently been published online in the journal Nature.

Presenting a stunning new map of Mars . The United Arab Emirates Mars Orbiter has provided a stunning new map of the Red Planet. This map shows stunning geological features on Mars in 3D.

Presenting a stunning new map of Mars

This new map of Mars shows the Red Planet in stunning detail and reveals a set of amazing geological features seen from the orbit. This high-resolution map can help scientists answer a number of questions about Mars, including how Mars has become a dry and barren planet, despite being a time full of liquid water.

The map of Mars was built by a team of scientists led by the New York University of Abu Dhabi (Nyuad) and the UAE Center for Space Sciences. The researchers used the data collected from the Mars Orbit by the UAE’s Mars Mission (EMM), also known as Hope, meaning Hope or Al-AMAL.

This map shows the Red Planet from the perspective of the advanced Hop imaging system, a UAE exploratory illustration.

The University of New York Abu Dhabi wrote in a statement that he hopes that the new Mars map will motivate the United Arab Emirates to seek jobs in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM).

“We intend to make our map as part of the new and more advanced Mars Atlas that we have worked on in both English and Arabic,” said Dimitra Atri, leader, and research scientist. We hope that this will make it a great tool for researchers as well as students to learn more about Mars.

To create this map, Atria, and his team collected more than 5 observations of the UAE’s exploratory illustrator (equivalent to two years on the ground) and integrated them to create a colorful image. The drawing map shows many of the main geological features of the Red Planet in high resolution.

The map shows polar ice warheads, passive mountains, and volcanoes, as well as remains of rivers, lakes, and ancient valleys that were overwhelmed by liquid water about 1.5 billion years ago. As such, this map can help planetary scientists gain a better understanding of how climate change on Mars over billions of years. The changes have led to the creation of a dry and irresponsible world that we are seeing today.

The full map of Mars also brings the United Arab Emirates and the Arab world another step closer to achieving the ambitious mission of the UAE Mars mission to present a complete global image of Mars’ climate, Atrie added.

More than 5 previous spacecraft have only been able to capture an instant photo of Mars’ weather, while the mission will follow seasonal changes over the course of a Martian year.

This map allows scientists to study the distribution of collisions on the dry surface of the planet and also reveals the history of the Mars bombing by early asteroids. It can also help researchers understand the conditions in the early solar system when the collision of space stones was much more common than today.

Hoop’s orbit is the first interplanetary mission of the United Arab Emirates and the entire Arab world. The spacecraft was launched from Japan on July 1, by the UAE leaders. After a seven-month trip, Hoop reached Mars on February 9th.

“Hoop’s probe helps researchers create this global image of the planet because of its strategic position,” says Atrie. Hope revolves around Mars in an oval orbit that allows observing Mars more than any other spacecraft. This strategic position helps researchers create a universal image of the planet.
