A Black Hole is Firing Bullet-Like Blobs of Gas into Space






Black holes are objects that are so dense that not even light can escape their gravitational pull. Created from the spectacular death of massive stars or lurking as supermassive monsters at galactic centres, they warp spacetime around them, creating a boundary called the event horizon—the point of no return. Despite their name suggesting emptiness, black holes are anything but, containing matter compressed to incredible densities while violently transforming their surroundings. They are surrounded by superheated accretion disks. blast powerful jets of radiation across thousands of light-years and distort time itself as predicted by Einstein's relativity.



Supermassive black holes and their host galaxies have evolved together despite their enormous differences in size and mass. It is thought that powerful gas winds expelled at extreme speeds from regions surrounding black holes hold the key to understanding this connection. These high-velocity outflows appear to regulate both the black hole's growth (by limiting how much matter falls in) and the galaxy's development (by pumping energy into the galaxy that can halt star formation.)

A team of researchers have found that the winds aren't smooth as once thought, but instead shoot out as rapid-fire gas "bullets" carrying surprising amounts of energy. This discovery, which changes our understanding of how galaxies evolve with their central black holes, came from an international team led by Japan's space agency (JAXA). Professor Christine Done from the Centre for Extragalactic Astronomy was one of two European scientists involved in this research as part of the X-ray Imaging and Spectroscopy Mission (XRISM), which studies hot gas winds flowing through galaxies.

The team used XRISM's advanced spectroscopic instruments and observed winds flowing from a supermassive black hole at 20-30% light speed. XRSIM is a joint mission between the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency, NASA and ESA and is well suited to the task. Rather than a uniform flow, they discovered these winds contain at least five distinct gas components moving at different velocities—suggesting gas ejection occurs in intermittent bursts like geysers or through gaps in surrounding space.

This finding challenges established theories about how galaxies and black holes evolve together, especially since these winds carry over 1,000 times more energy than previously known galactic-scale winds. This groundbreaking observation, only possible with XRISM's unique ability to resolve the complex velocity structure of these cosmic outflows, fundamentally changes our understanding of black holes' influence on their host galaxies.

Physicists observe a new form of magnetism for the first time

MIT physicists have demonstrated a new form of magnetism that could one day be harnessed to build faster, denser, and less power-hungry " spintronic " memory chips. The new magnetic state is a mash-up of two main forms of magnetism: the ferromagnetism of everyday fridge magnets and compass needles, and antiferromagnetism, in which materials have magnetic properties at the microscale yet are not macroscopically magnetized. Now, the MIT team has demonstrated a new form of magnetism , termed "p-wave magnetism." Physicists have long observed that electrons of atoms in regular ferromagnets share the same orientation of "spin," like so many tiny compasses pointing in the same direction. This spin alignment generates a magnetic field, which gives a ferromagnet its inherent magnetism. Electrons belonging to magnetic atoms in an antiferromagnet also have spin, although these spins alternate, with electrons orbiting neighboring atoms aligning their spins antiparalle...

Green comet to pass Earth, won't be back for another 50,000 years

   visit:  https://hep-conferences.sciencefather.com/ After travelling from the icy reaches of our Solar System it will come closest to the Sun on January 12 and pass nearest to Earth on February 1.   A newly discovered comet could be visible to the naked eye as it shoots past Earth and the Sun in the coming weeks for the first time in 50,000 years, astronomers have said. The comet is called C/2022 E3 (ZTF) after the Zwicky Transient Facility, which first spotted it passing Jupiter in March last year. After travelling from the icy reaches of our Solar System it will come closest to the Sun on January 12 and pass nearest to Earth on February 1. It will be easy to spot with a good pair of binoculars and likely even with the naked eye, provided the sky is not too illuminated by city lights or the Moon. The comet "will be brightest when it is closest to the Earth", Thomas Prince, a physics professor at the California Institute of Technology who works at the Zwicky Transi...

Physicists Catch Light in 'Imaginary Time' in Scientific First

For the first time, researchers have seen how light behaves during a mysterious phenomenon called 'imaginary time '. When you shine light through almost any transparent material, the gridlock of electromagnetic fields that make up the atomic alleys and side streets will add a significant amount of time to each photon's commute. This delay can tell physicists a lot about how light scatters, revealing details about the matrix of material the photons must navigate. Yet until now, one trick up the theorist's sleeve for measuring light's journey invoking imaginary time has not been fully understood in practical terms. An experiment conducted by University of Maryland physicists Isabella Giovannelli and Steven Anlage has now revealed precisely what pulses of microwave radiation (a type of light that exists outside the visible spectrum) do while experiencing imaginary time inside a roundabout of cables. Their work also demonstrates how imaginary numbers can describe a ver...
