Black hole accretion powers its jets.
Not exact matches
The idea that quasars are
powered by the
accretion of matter onto
black holes was proposed within months after the discovery of quasars.
In some active galactic nuclei, you have a
black hole and
accretion disk and the majority of the
power is associated with these outflowing jets, far more than is associated with the radiant energy that is emitted by the
accretion disk and the hot gas surrounding it.
Quasars are believed to be
powered by
accretion of material onto supermassive
black holes in the nuclei of distant galaxies, making these luminous versions of the general class of objects known as active galaxies.
There have been many reports saying that the ionized gas outflow driven by the
accretion power of a supermassive
black hole has a great impact on surrounding molecular gas (e.g., * 2,3).
Quasars are very luminous objects
powered by
accretion of gas into supermassive
black holes at the centers of distant galaxies.
The
black holes that
power quasars probably started their lives in miniature and grew exponentially by
accretion — whereby matter close to a
black hole can not escape the strong gravitational field and is ultimately pulled into the
black hole.
