In a joint experiment with scientists from the Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute, NASA came to Lampasas for the big day, and they brought modified telescopes with them.
A new image from the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) collaboration has uncovered strong and organised magnetic fields spiraling from the edge of the supermassive black hole Sagittarius A (Sgr A ). Seen in polarised light for the first time, this new view of the monster lurking at the heart of the Milky Way galaxy has revealed a magnetic field structure strikingly similar to that of the black hole at the centre of the M87 galaxy, suggesting that strong magnetic fields may be common to all b.
<p>A new image from the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) collaboration has uncovered strong and organised magnetic fields spiraling from the edge of the supermassive black hole Sagittarius A (Sgr A ). Seen in polarised light for the first time, this new view of the monster lurking at the heart of the Milky Way galaxy has revealed a magnetic field structure strikingly similar to that of the black hole at the centre of the M87 galaxy, suggesting that strong magnetic fields may be common to all black holes. This similarity also hints toward a hidden jet in Sgr A . The results were published today in The Astrophysical Journal Letters.</p>
The South Pole Telescope has analyzed a trove of its CMB data, finding results that confirm the general picture of the cosmos drawn from previous space-based experiments.
