radio emission was connected to the galaxy's jet, so clearly the electrons must have been initially accelerated by the black hole and then reaccelerated by the shock
waves.

observations picked up
radio waves indicative of a black hole coming from the centre of the cloud, said Tomoharu Oka, an astronomer at Keio University in Tokyo.

radio observations such as dry air with a low rate of water vapor absorption of
radio waves and a wide flat space that allows an extended configuration of multiple antennas.
The light - based detections in the seconds, hours, days, and weeks that followed — which included Caltech - led
observations in the infrared, X-ray, ultraviolet, and
radio waves — show that the collision of the neutron stars released newly synthesized heavy elements into the surrounding universe, providing the first concrete proof that such smashups are the birthplace of half of the universe's elements heavier than iron, including gold and platinum.
