Astronomers have observed a bright one-sided jet of material ejected at three-quarters the speed of light from the core of the blazar PSO J030947.49+271757.31...
Astronomers using the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA) have detected plasma jets coming from a supermassive black hole in the central galaxy of...
Astronomers using NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory have observed a pair of relativistic jets blasting away from a black hole in the binary system MAXI...
Astronomers using the 8.2-m Subaru Telescope report the first unambiguous detection of a relativistic jet — a beam of charged particles that travels...
IceCube 170922A, a high-energy neutrino detected by the IceCube Neutrino Observatory in 2017, was generated by a jet-jet collision within TXS 0506+056,...
High-speed particle jets from gamma-ray bursts may exceed the speed of light in surrounding gas clouds, but do so without violating Einstein’s theory...
Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are the most energetic explosions in the Universe, beaming out mighty jets which travel through space at 0.99 times the speed of...
V404 Cygni is a binary system comprising a black hole and a star orbiting one another. It lies in the constellation Cygnus at a distance of about 7,800...
