Listen "Black Hole's Cosmic Storm"
Episode Synopsis
A dramatic soft X-ray flare from the active galactic nucleus in NGC 3783 triggers an ultra-fast outflow racing at 0.19c, launched from about 50 gravitational radii. Radiation pressure falls short; magnetic reconnection—the same physics that powers solar flares—appears to drive the wind. This suggests a universal mechanism for extreme outflows and a key role in galaxy evolution through AGN feedback, revealed by coordinated XMM-Newton and XRISM observations over 10 days.Note: This podcast was AI-generated, and sometimes AI can make mistakes.
