Modern astronomy has clung to the belief that the relativistic outflows or jets, responsible for the existence of electromagnetic radiation of particularly high energies, are located in the nuclei of ...

For the first time, astronomers have found a microquasar — a black hole devouring material from a companion star — in a galaxy beyond the Milky Way. The object, pumping out X-rays and bright bursts of ...

For the first time, astronomers have found a microquasar—a black hole devouring material from a companion star—in a galaxy beyond our own Milky Way. The object, pumping out X-rays and bright bursts of ...

Clear view A microquasar produced by a black hole feeding on a star, has been detected in a nearby galaxy for the first time. The discovery, by scientists including Dr James Miller-Jones of the ...

The first-ever detection of highly energetic radiation from a microquasar has astrophysicists scrambling for new theories to explain the extreme particle acceleration. A microquasar is a black hole ...

A new view of a 20,000-year old supernova remnant demonstrates the upgraded imaging power of the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA) and provides more clues to ...

In a recent issue of journal Science, the Major Atmospheric Gamma-ray Imaging Cherenkov (MAGIC) Telescope has reported the discovery of a variable very high energy (VHE) gamma-ray emission from a ...

Astronomers said Wednesday that a burst of X-rays from the galaxy Andromeda appeared to have been created by a microquasar — a black hole gobbling up material from a companion star. The discovery ...

For the first time, astronomers have found a microquasar — a black hole devouring material from a companion star — in a galaxy beyond our own Milky Way. The object, pumping out X-rays and bright ...

Sources of high-energy cosmic rays in the vicinity of the microquasar V4641 Sag, on the left with energies above a teraelectronvolt, on the right – hundreds of teraelectronvolts. The location of the ...
