The jets are an artifact of the spaghettification process where matter entering a BH is spun at increasing velocities as it falls closer to the center, due to the law of conservation of angular momentum. I would submit that we currently understand enough about the basic building blocks of the universe and the fundamental physics of Black Holes (BHs) to make a preliminary mathematical model of how a BH’s relativistic jets operate. "The coming years will be exciting, as we will be able to learn more about what happens near one of the most mysterious regions in the Universe." "We plan to observe the region around the black hole at the centre of M87 at different radio wavelengths to further study the emission of the jet," co-author Eduardo Ros (opens in new tab), an astronomer at the Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy in Germany, said in the statement.
Whether these two new observations are related, and exactly where the jet is emerging from around the black hole, remains to be seen. To the researchers' surprise, the ring of material around the black hole was 50% thicker than in the 2019 image of M87*, and a wider range of radiation was also seen being thrown out from its mouth, suggesting that just as material falls into the accretion disk, there could also be a particle wind blowing out. By reconstructing the faint radio light they detected, the astronomers pieced together a jigsaw image of the black hole's silhouette, the swirling matter that surrounds it, and the hyper-fast jet of material that springs forth from it. To collect the new image, the researchers used radio telescopes from the Greenland Telescope (GLT), theGlobal Millimetre VLBI Array (GMVA) in Europe, and the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) in Chile. Precisely where around a black hole these jets originate is also a mystery. What's the biggest black hole in the universe?Īstronomers believe these jets reach such incredible speeds with assistance from the black holes' rotation and their powerful magnetic fields, but none of this is known for certain.
