Summary
editDescriptionPictor A composite.jpg |
English: The Pictor A galaxy has a supermassive black hole at its center, and material falling onto the black hole is driving an enormous beam, or jet, of particles at nearly the speed of light into intergalactic space. This composite image contains X-ray data obtained by Chandra at various times over 15 years (blue) and radio data from the Australia Telescope Compact Array (red). By studying the details of the structure seen in both X-rays and radio waves, scientists seek to gain a deeper understanding of these huge collimated blasts.
Image is 10 arcmin across. RA 05h 19m 49.70s, Dec -45° 46' 45" in Pictor. Русский: Радиогалактика Живописец A имеет в центре сверхмассивную чёрную дыру, падающая на неё материя порождает мощный пучок, или джет, движущихся с околосветовой скоростью в межгалактическое пространство частиц. Этот комбинированный снимок содержит данные в рентгеновском диапазоне, полученные обсерваторией «Чандра» в различное время на протяжении 15 лет (синий) и данные в радиодиапазоне, полученные на Australia Telescope Compact Array (красный). Размер снимка — 10 угловых минут, экваториальные координаты: прямое восхождение 05ч 19м 49.70с, склонение -45° 46' 45". |
