The similarity of the magnetic fields at both black holes indicates it is possible Sgr A* also has one of these, the scientists suggest, despite one never being seen before. Forthcoming research ...

WASHINGTON: A sudden outburst of jets from a black hole 8,000 light years from Earth has offered astronomers a rare opportunity to measure the surrounding magnetic field, only to find it weaker than ...

Reader Jayant Bhalerao, a college physics instructor, found the story useful in class: “We will share it with our students, so that they can appreciate how ...

The disc of plasma surrounding the black hole at the heart of the Milky Way is constantly emitting flares both large and small.

This process involves modifying the black hole's ergosphere's electromagnetic field, perhaps using a magnetic harness. As the ergosphere causes the magnetosphere inside it to rotate, the outgoing ...

An international team of researchers used multi-wavelength observations of active galactic nuclei to study how black holes ...

Since its launch on March 12, 2015, NASA’s MMS, or Magnetospheric Multiscale, mission has been rewriting our understanding of magnetic reconnection, a key physical process that is important across the ...

Feb. 19, 2025 — Within the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument's early data, scientists have uncovered the largest samples ever of intermediate-mass black holes and dwarf galaxies hosting an ...

New infrared observations of Sagittarius A* uncover flaring activity in its accretion disk, advancing knowledge of black ...

The supermassive black hole at the centre of our Galaxy ... of magnitude over periods of minutes to hours, as turbulent magnetic fields are tangled and untangled in a process similar to that ...

proposes that UHECRs are accelerated in the turbulent magnetic outflows of Binary Neutron Star mergers -- spewed out from the merger remnant, prior to formation of the final black hole.
