FRBs are sporadic, intense flashes of radio wave energy that can be brighter than entire galaxies. In just thousandths of a ...
From decades of astronomical observations, scientists know that most galaxies contain massive black holes at their centers.
Astronomers have identified the largest radio jet ever observed in the early universe, spanning 200,000 light-years, using a combination of telescopes including LOFAR and GNIRS.
These jets can be detected with radio telescopes up to large distances. In our local Universe these radio jets are not uncommon, with a small fraction being found in nearby galaxies, but they have ...
Telescopes around the world have spotted a monster radio jet streaming from a quasar dating back to the first 1 billion years ...
Making use of the Gemini North telescope, one half of the International Gemini Observatory, funded in part by the U.S.
Astronomers have made an exciting discovery—a massive radio jet stretching 200,000 light-years across from a distant quasar. This is the largest radio jet ever found in the early universe, and it ...
