These observations help clarify the origin of the powerful jet of gas streaming from the galaxy's center at a high fraction of the speed of light: it is likely driven by the swirling matter near the black hole's boundary.»

The astronomers argue that the intensity falls when more of the iron in matter near the black hole is completely ionized — stripped of all 26 of its electrons, so none remain to generate the emission line.

Dark matter annihilating near the edges of medium - sized black holes could be the source
A gamma ray burst is thought to emerge when jets of hot matter moving at near — light - speed shoot out along the rotational axis of the newborn black hole, beaming radiation into space like a lighthouse.
The U-shaped features in the data appeared when the black hole emitted clumps of matter that sped away at near the speed of light, and passed behind this lens from the perspective of Earth, the team says.
The ionization increases, the astronomers say, near black holes that are swallowing up matter at a higher rate relative to their mass, which creates more radiation capable of stripping away electrons.
«We are directly measuring the motion of matter in a strong gravitational field near to a black hole,» says Ingram.
«We think most large galaxies have a supermassive black hole at their center, but they are too far away for us to study how matter flows near it,» said Q. Daniel Wang of the University of Massachusetts in Amherst, who led of a study published Thursday in the journal Science.
