Even quiet #blackholes create winds, new Milky Way observations reveal
New observations reveal a cone-shaped path leading away from #SagittariusA* that could only be carved by a hot wind. “We’ve never seen gentle breezes from black holes, but likely that’s what they do most of their lives,” says #astrophysicist Lena Murchikova of Northwestern University in Evanston, Ill. “Now, for the first time, we see this gentle breeze from the #blackhole.”

💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🔭⚫ A #PennState astronomer explains that supermassive #blackholes sit at the center of nearly every large #galaxy.

Scientists study them by measuring how fast nearby #stars and gas move. Two theories for their formation remain, and the #JWST may help settle the debate.

An article published in "The Astrophysical Journal Letters" reports evidence of a cosmic wind emanating from Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way. Mark D. Gorski and Lena Murchikova of Northwestern University used observations with the ALMA radio telescope and NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory to create a high-quality map of the cold carbon monoxide gas surrounding Sagittarius A*.

James Webb Looked Into Sagittarius A… What it Saw Terrified Scientists

Peering 26,000 light-years into the heart of our galaxy, the JWST has captured a constant, "random" stream of blinding flares erupting from the accretion disk of Sagittarius A*. The sheer energy and lack of any predictable pattern in these flares have left astrophysicists scrambling to explain the extreme physics at play.

Scientists uncovered a #binarystar system close to #blackhole near center of #MilkyWay, confirming a hypothesis made by happenstance nearly a century ago, according to a paper published in Nature Communications. Scientists previously predicted the existence of a binary #star system -- one in which two stars are gravitationally bound to one another around a common center of gravity -- in the vicinity of the black hole at the center of the galaxy, called #SagittariusA*.

Artist's illustrations of #BlackHoles often have this characteristic ring which is in front of the #BlackHole and continues "above". This ring is an #AccretionDisk made of hot matter on an orbit of the black hole. The strange shape of this ring is due to light bending by the black hole's incredible strong gravitation, which makes something which is *behind* the black hole appear to be above it. [1/3]

Event Horizon Telescope reveals magnetic fields around the Milky Way’s central black hole https://www.nasaspaceflight.com/2024/03/eht-sgt-a/ #eventhorizontelescope #sagittariusa* #astrophysics #blackhole #featured #science #other #sgra* #eht

Astronomers have captured the first view of polarized light and the magnetic fields that surround Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*), the supermassive black hole at the heart of the Milly Way.

The new EHT observation of Sgr A*, therefore, suggests that strong and well-organized magnetic fields could be common to all black holes.
