Uniindia: New Delhi, Feb 13 (UNI) A team of Indian astronomers has detected one of the strongest flares from a feeding supermassive black hole or blazar called BL Lacertae.

TELLTALE STARE: The luminosity of BL Lac observed on January 16, 2021 is about 250% of that seen on Oct 27, 2020, measured in terms of solar luminosity BENGALURU: Indian astronomers have reported one of the strongest flares from a feeding supermassive black hole or blazar called BL Lacertae, some 10 million light-years away. And, the analysis of the flare from this blazar — one of the oldest astronomical objects — can help trace the mass of the black hole and the source of this emission. T...

Team Of Indian Astronomers Detect One Of The Strongest Flares From Very Rare Supermassive Black Hole Source: SciTechDaily A team of Indian astronomers headed by Alok Chandra Gupta from the Aryabhatta Research Institute of Observational Sciences (ARIES) has reported BL Lacertae, which is one of the strongest flares from a feeding supermassive black hole, referred to as a blazar. It is considered to be one of the oldest astronomical objects and can assist in tracing the mass of the black hole and...
