Strange structures around a black hole

Strange structures around a black hole.

They have discovered new shapes and orientations of the strange structures that Yusef-Zadeh and his collaborators discovered in 1980, in their discovery these huge filaments hung vertically from the black hole, now these filaments are horizontal and radial to the black hole that is in the center of our milky way.


Although the two populations of filaments share several similarities, Yusef-Zadeh proposes that they have different origins, because while the vertical filaments span the galaxy rising up to 150 light-years high, the horizontal filaments are more like the dots and dashes of Morse code. something a little strange, they are shorter and measure 5 to 10 light years.


There are more differences the vertical filaments are magnetic and relativistic while the horizontal filaments seem to emit thermal radiation, that is to say heat, the vertical filaments carry particles that move almost at the speed of light, while the horizontal filaments seem to accelerate the thermal material in a molecular cloud.

There are about a thousand vertical filaments, but only a few hundred horizontal filaments, according to the researchers. The now-discovered filaments originated during an event whose characteristics are now unknown, but which occurred about 6 million years ago, appear to be the result of an interaction of the outgoing material from the environment of the black hole with objects close to it.


The researchers hope that the study of the new filaments will allow us to better understand the orientation of the accretion disk and the spin of the supermassive black hole. This spin is very interesting, since on February 28, 2013 astronomers reported that using the satellite they had managed to measure for the first time the spin of a supermassive black hole, it was NGC 1365, located in another galaxy, 156 million light years away.


Thanks to this they knew that the event or event horizon, the place where the known universe ends, was spinning at almost the speed of light.

Wow, this article really took me on a cosmic journey! I've always been fascinated by black holes, and these strange structures around them are just mind-blowing. It's amazing to think about how these filaments have changed over time, from vertical to horizontal and radial. It's like the black hole is rearranging its cosmic furniture!

I also found it interesting how the vertical and horizontal filaments might have different origins. It's like they're two different species of cosmic creatures, each with their own unique characteristics. And the fact that studying these filaments could help us understand more about black holes is just icing on the cake.

Thank you very much, I am glad that you were interested in and liked the publication, there are few people with a refined taste for science.

We have understood almost nothing about black holes and more elements are emerging around them, more and more questions than answers are emerging, but we continue in the search for knowledge.

Greetings.

It's my pleasure. The pursuit of knowledge, especially in science, is an ongoing journey filled with more questions than answers. And that's what makes it so exciting. I have always thought that to understand the universe and unveil its mysteries is also to learn about ourselves.

That's right, as Carl Sagan said, we are stardust...
