Synchrotron Radiation Could Explain Black Hole’s Flaring

JWST observations reveal two distinct types of flares from the Milky Way’s black hole, suggesting that they originate from two different electron-acceleration mechanisms within the supermassive black hole’s accretion disk.   Read More »

X-Ray Spectral Imaging Probes How Sun-Like Plasma Blocks Light

Eyal Kroupp and Tal Queller –  

Temporal measurements in conditions similar to those in the Sun rebut a leading hypothesis for why models and experiments disagree on how much light iron absorbs.   Read More »

How Black Holes Help Stars Form

In the Phoenix galaxy cluster, the presence of a black hole allows gas to cool, collapse, and form stars at an extremely high rate, in contrast with other clusters where the black hole heats the gas and slows star formation.   Read More »

Detecting Axion-Like Dark Matter with the JWST

Elisa Todarello –  

Measurements made by the JWST observatory could be used to detect photons emitted by the decay of a hypothetical form of dark matter particle known as the axion.   Read More »
