Study identifies where giant jets from black holes discharge their energy ANI | Updated: Dec 16, 2020 15:23 IST
Washington [US], December 16 (ANI): Scientists have perpetually disagreed about where the powerful jets from the black holes discharge their energy. A new study has revealed the primary way that the jets discharge this powerful motion energy is by converting it into extremely high-energy gamma rays.
The new study conducted by the University of Maryland Baltimore County uses standard statistical techniques and relies on very few assumptions to determine that the jets release their energy in an area called the molecular torus, which is much farther away from the black hole s centre than another prime candidate, the broad-line region. This finding has implications for how jets form, pick up speed and become column-shaped.
