Sentences with phrase «field around a black hole»

«We examined the scalar quantum field around a black hole and a compact object and found that around the collapsing object — the black hole, there are no bound states, but around the compact object there are,» explains FedorPopov, a member of staff at MIPT's Laboratory of High Energy Physics.

The black hole has a mass of about 2 billion solar masses, and as matter falls into the black hole it is concentrated by the intense magnetic fields around the black hole and some of it is propelled outwards to form the jet.

Not exact matches

For this theory to work, the beams released by black holes would have to have strong, self - generated magnetic fields and the rotation of particles around the fields would then give off powerful bursts of gamma ray radiation.

Tiny dots of white paper punched out by a specially adapted sewing machine were used to measure the flow field — the speed of the fluid flow around the analogue black hole.

Over time, it should detect tens or hundreds of cosmic rays from individual AGNs and their range of energies should clarify exactly how they were accelerated — a process thought to be controlled by magnetic fields around the colossal black holes.

We've got a black hole that's spinning, so it's moving magnetic fields around it, and that creates voltages.

Around spinning black holes, however, frame dragging could be hugely important: By whipping magnetic field lines through the electrically charged gas around the holes, it could convert them into electromagnetic generators, which would explain how they spew jets of energetic particles millions of light - years into Around spinning black holes, however, frame dragging could be hugely important: By whipping magnetic field lines through the electrically charged gas around the holes, it could convert them into electromagnetic generators, which would explain how they spew jets of energetic particles millions of light - years into around the holes, it could convert them into electromagnetic generators, which would explain how they spew jets of energetic particles millions of light - years into space.

The observations by the Breakthrough Listen team at UC Berkeley using the Robert C. Byrd Green Bank Telescope in West Virginia show that the fast radio bursts from this object, called FRB 121102, are nearly 100 percent linearly polarized, an indication that the source of the bursts is embedded in strong magnetic fields like those around a massive black hole.

Around a black hole, however, the effect would be much more noticeable because of the stronger gravitational field.

As some of this matter falls toward the black hole, it heats up and emits synchrotron radiation, which is characteristic of electrons whirling at nearly the speed of light around a magnetic field.

Like the fields around our sun, these black hole's magnetic fields can periodically «reconnect,» a process that could catapult material from near its surface.

As matter is broken down around a black hole, jets of electrons are launched by the magnetic field from either pole of the black hole at almost the speed of light.

Galactic magnetic fields, they suggest, are produced by a ring of electrically charged gas rotating around a giant black hole at the center of a galaxy.

Here too the field lines get stretched out and wrapped around the black hole into a field that lies within the disk of the galaxy.

Zoom in on the pulsar PSR J1745 - 2900 that has helped astronomers discover a powerful magnetic field around the monster black hole Sagittarius A * at the center of our Milky Way Galaxy.

«We can now calculate very precisely how space and time are warped by the immense gravitational fields of a black hole, and determine how light and matter propagate around black holes», he remarks.

Subsequently, matter from the debris of the merger that swirls rapidly around the newly created new black hole has been modelled as amplifying the strength of the combined magnetic field left over by the neutron stars after their merger over the next 11 milliseconds.

The degree of broadening implies that the gas is moving around at high speed, a result of the strong gravitational field of the black hole.
