There’s drama in the extragalactic astronomy community today. Some strange accretion-driven outflows in nearby active galaxies have been observed to accelerate in the galactic outskirts. In today’s paper, our authors explain why an earlier proposed theory is likely wrong, present their own theory, and let the observers know what they need to do to settle the debate.
Black hole accretion must be SANE or MAD, right? Maybe not…read to learn more!
Today’s authors search for low frequency radio bursts following gamma-ray bursts to test its emission mechanism!
In today’s paper, our authors model what shenanigans will occur (or not?) when we slam two plasmas together!
In this exciting new paper, our authors show that in quasars, X-ray coronas fueled by energy stolen from the accretion disk around the black hole may be responsible for the interesting ultraviolet and optical emission we see!
