It has been known for long that some of these massive black holes eject spectacular plasma jets at a near speed - of - light that can extend far beyond the confines of their host galaxy.

Not exact matches

That model assumes that relativistic jets store energy primarily in the form of hot matter (plasma) and less in the form of magnetic fields generated by shock waves at the front of the jets.

«We have made, by far, the most precise extraction to date of a key property of the quark - gluon plasma, which reveals the microscopic structure of this almost perfect liquid,» says Xin - Nian Wang, physicist in the Nuclear Science Division at Berkeley Lab and managing principal investigator of the JET Collaboration.

In this new work, Wang's team refined a probe that makes use of a phenomenon researchers at Berkeley Lab first theoretically outlined 20 years ago: energy loss of a high - energy particle, called a jet, inside the quark gluon plasma.

Roger Blandford is the coauthor of the Blandford - Znajek Process, the leading explanation for how black holes produce jets of plasma traveling at near light speed, but what's plasma?

But there are two jets — one that goes up and one that goes down — and these are associated with the region very close to the black hole and those jets contain plasmas that are moving at relativistic speeds, that is to say, speeds close to that of light.

Even protostars — these are young stars that are just forming and making their own planetary disks and so on — they make very powerful outflows called, the same sort of jets obviously moving at slower speeds, but they are full of plasma, that is flowing out at high speed; white dwarfs, neutron stars, black holes big and small, they seem able to do this task, it really seems to be a very common phenomenon.

«Novel plasma jet offshoot phenomenon explains blue atmospheric jets: Physicists identify mysterious right - angle side - jet occurring off the plasma arc in air at ambient pressure conditions.»

Astronomers using the National Science Foundation's Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA) have discovered jets of plasma blasted from the cores of distant galaxies at speeds within one - tenth of one percent of the speed of light, placing these plasma jets among the fastest objects yet seen in the Universe.

Scientists from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the University of Cambridge and some other international institutions investigating this «extreme stellar output» observed jets of hot plasma and gas bubbles (at about 10 million degrees) blasting out from the galaxy's central black hole.

Using high - intensity lasers at the University of Rochester's OMEGA EP Facility focused on targets smaller than a pencil's eraser, they conducted experiments to create colliding jets of plasma knotted by plasma filaments and self - generated magnetic fields.
