First Triple Radio AGN Galaxy system discovery

Astronomers Discover First-Ever Triple Galaxy System with Three Active Supermassive Black Holes Rare Triple Radio AGN Found 1.2 Billion Light-Years from Earth Astronomers have confirmed the first-ever triple system in which all three galaxies harbour actively feeding, radio-bright supermassive holes . Known as J1218/1219+1035 , the system lies around 1.2 billion light-years from Earth and consists of three interacting galaxies, each with a central black hole actively drawing in material and emitting strong radio signals . High-impact astronomers discoveries and deep-space research are regularly covered at FSNews365 , which tracks cutting-edge development in astrophysics and cosmology. Radio Observations Confirm Three Active Galactic Nuclei High-resolution observations from the U.S. National Science Foundation's Very Large Array and Very Long Baseline Array revealed compact, synchrotron-emitting radio cores in all three galaxies, confirming the presence's of active galactic...

Blazar TXS 2013-370 gamma ray flare

Astronomers Detect Extraordinary Gamma-Ray Flare From Blazar TXS 2013+370 Jets Aimed at Earth: What Makes Blazars Unique Structure and Classification of Blazars Astronomers have used very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) to study the gamma-ray loud blazar known as TXS 2013+370. The findings, shared on the arXiv preprint server on 19 November, revealed the presence of an extraordinary gamma-ray flare from the source. Blazars are compact, quasar-like celestial objects powered by supermassive black holes located at the centers of giant active elliptical galaxies. They form part of a broader category of active galaxies that host active galactic nuclei (AGN) and are the most frequent sources of gamma-ray emissions beyond the Milky Way. A defining characteristic of blazars is the presence of highly energetic, relativistic jets that are aligned almost directly towards Earth. Blazars are generally grouped into two types, based on their optical signatures. Flat-spectrum radio quasars (FSRQ...

Black Hole at2019azh Radio Signals

Black Hole Breakthrough: Curtin University Astronomers Track Rare Tidal Disruption Event AT2019azh Edited by Fasi Uddin A Cosmic Catastrophe Caught in Action Astronomers at Curtin University , working alongside international collaborators, have uncovered new insights into a rare and violent astronomical phenomenon: a tidal disruption event (TDE) . Their findings released on 22 September via arXiv , detail years of radio monitoring of the event known as AT2019azh , offering a deeper understanding of how black holes tear stars apart and how the aftermath evolves over time. For readers who follow cutting-edge discoveries in space science and physics, more breaking reports are available at FSNews365 . What Exactly Is a Tidal Disruption Event? When a star strays too close to a supermassive black hole , it is pulled apart by overwhelming tidal forces. Roughly half of the stellar material is flung into space, while the rest forms a spectacular flare as it spirals into the black hole. This pr...

dark matter axions magnetars plasma study

Dark Matter Mystery Deepens: Lisbon Researchers Reveal Axion Signal Suppression Around Magnetars Dark matter, the invisible fabric thoughts to make up the bulk of cosmic mass , continues to elude scientist. This enigmatic form of matter neither emits, absorbs, not reflects light, making direct observation impossible. Despite decades of research, the true nature of dark matter remains one of physics' most compelling mysteries. One of the leading candidates for dark matter is the axion , a hypothetical particle theorized to convert into photons under strong magnetic conditions. This conversion could generate faint radio signals detectable by ultra-sensitive telescopes. However, a recent study by researchers from the Polytechnic Institute of Lisbon suggests that these signals may be significantly weakened by interactions with plasma .

astronomers discover 18 new pulsars arecibo

Astronomers Discover 18 New Pulsars Using Arecibo Telescope Data Discovery of 18 New Pulsars Astronomers from West Virginia University, in collaboration with other institutions, have identified 18 new pulsars through the Arecibo Observatory, as a part of the AO 327-MHz Drift Survey. These discoveries were outlined in a paper published on February 6. What Are Pulsars? Pulsars are rapidly rotating neutron stars with strong magnetic fields that emit beams of electromagnetic radiation. Typically identified through brief radio bursts, some pulsars are also observed in optical, X-ray and gamma-ray wavelengths. The AO327 Survey: Purpose and Scope The AO327 survey, conducted with the Arecibo telescope at 327 MHz, operated from 2010 to December 2020. Its objective was to systematically search the entire Arecibo-visible sky (declinations between-1 °  and 38° ) for pulsars and radio transients. Key Findings from the AO327 Survey By examining data from the AO327 survey, astronomers under the ...
