New in Nature Astronomy: Space interferometry reveals helical filaments within a supermassive black hole's jet
26/10/2023
The Institute of Astrophysics of Andalusia (IAA-CSIC) leads the observation at the highest angular resolution and sensitivity of the jet emerging from the core of the galaxy 3C 279 at nearly the speed of light. The image obtained reveals large helical filaments close to the central engine, the existence of which requires an alternative model to the one employed for four decades to explain the variability of these jets

This artist’s impression (not to scale) illustrates the path of the fast radio burst FRB 20220610A, from the distant galaxy where it originated all the way to Earth, in one of the Milky Way’s spiral arms. The source galaxy of FRB 20220610A, pinned down thanks to ESO’s Very Large Telescope, appears to be located within a small group of interacting galaxies.
