Black hole signals stellar feast DR EMILY BALDWIN ASTRONOMY NOW Posted: 25 August 2011 Radiation streaming from a source known as Swift J1644+57 is thought to be the result of a star being consumed by a once-dormant black hole. X-rays have beamed towards Earth from the enigmatic source since late March, but when the Swift satellite first detected the initial high energy pulse of radiation, astronomers thought the flare signaled a gamma-ray burst (GRB), the typical outcome of the death of a massive star and the birth of a black hole in the distant Universe. Instead, by 30 March, observations taken with the Expanded Very Large Array (EVLA) showed a brightening radio source centred on a faint galaxy near Swift’s position for the X-ray flares. “Incredibly, this source is still producing X-rays and may remain bright enough for Swift to observe into next year,” says David Burrows of Penn State University and lead scientist for the mission’s X-Ray Telescope instrument. “It behaves unlike anything we’ve seen before.” The prolonged event is attributed to the tidal disruption of a Sun-like star being consumed by an eight billion solar mass black hole lurking at the heart of the faraway galaxy. Ripping the star apart with intense tides, the stellar material was then swept up into a disc and heated to millions of degrees. As some of the gas spirals into the jaws of the black hole, jets of matter form along the black hole's spin axis. The radio emission occurs as the jet slams into the interstellar environment, whereas the X-rays are emitted from the base of the jet. [link to www.astronomynow.com] |

On March 28, 2011, NASA’s Swift detected intense X-ray flares thought to be caused by a black hole devouring a star. In one model, illustrated here, a sun-like star on an eccentric orbit plunges too close to its galaxy’s central black hole. About half of the star’s mass feeds an accretion disk around the black hole, which in turn powers a particle jet that beams radiation toward Earth. Astronomers soon realized the source, known as Swift J1644+57, was the result of a truly extraordinary event — the awakening of a distant galaxy’s dormant black hole as it shredded and consumed a star. The galaxy is so far away, it took the light from the event approximately 3.9 billion years to reach earth. Burrows’ study included NASA scientists. It highlights the X- and gamma-ray observations from Swift and other detectors, including the Japan-led Monitor of All-sky X-ray Image (MAXI) instrument aboard the International Space Station. The second study was led by Ashley Zauderer, a post-doctoral fellow at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics in Cambridge, Mass. It examines the unprecedented outburst through observations from numerous ground-based radio observatories, including the National Radio Astronomy Observatory’s Expanded Very Large Array (EVLA) near Socorro, N.M. Most galaxies, including our own, possess a central supersized black hole weighing millions of times the sun’s mass. According to the new studies, the black hole in the galaxy hosting Swift J1644+57 may be twice the mass of the four-million-solar-mass black hole in the center of the Milky Way galaxy. As a star falls toward a black hole, it is ripped apart by intense tides. The gas is corralled into a disk that swirls around the black hole and becomes rapidly heated to temperatures of millions of degrees. The innermost gas in the disk spirals toward the black hole, where rapid motion and magnetism create dual, oppositely directed “funnels” through which some particles may escape. Jets driving matter at velocities greater than 90 percent the speed of light form along the black hole’s spin axis. In the case of Swift J1644+57, one of these jets happened to point straight at Earth. “The radio emission occurs when the outgoing jet slams into the interstellar environment,” Zauderer explained. “By contrast, the X-rays arise much closer to the black hole, likely near the base of the jet.” Theoretical studies of tidally disrupted stars suggested they would appear as flares at optical and ultraviolet energies. The brightness and energy of a black hole’s jet is greatly enhanced when viewed head-on. The phenomenon, called relativistic beaming, explains why Swift J1644+57 was seen at X-ray energies and appeared so strikingly luminous. When first detected March 28, the flares were initially assumed to signal a gamma-ray burst, one of the nearly daily short blasts of high-energy radiation often associated with the death of a massive star and the birth of a black hole in the distant universe. But as the emission continued to brighten and flare, astronomers realized that the most plausible explanation was the tidal disruption of a sun-like star seen as beamed emission. By March 30, EVLA observations by Zauderer’s team showed a brightening radio source centered on a faint galaxy near Swift’s position for the X-ray flares. These data provided the first conclusive evidence that the galaxy, the radio source and the Swift event were linked. “Our observations show that the radio-emitting region is still expanding at more than half the speed of light,” said Edo Berger, an associate professor of astrophysics at Harvard and a coauthor of the radio paper. “By tracking this expansion backward in time, we can confirm that the outflow formed at the same time as the Swift X-ray source.” --Source: NASA |

A black hole 8 Million solar masses!!? or did it say billion... regardless- I didn't think light could escape a black hole, or anything for that matter. That's really cool.

Look at the timing, the first wave of spaces xRay coming from the event is around 2-3 last march. Quoting: deathr0 What happen in japan the 2-3 last march? What did happen? March 11 was the big earthquake wasn't it? right the big EQ tsunami. I wounder if the mess going on lately with some of the psy/high energy underground lab is related.. |

Me too, the flow of some kind of radiation ray on steady rate each days since last march is something not not heatly for sure.. This Affect not only humans, but the whole earth life shema It could account for those experiencing high-pitched ringing in their ears. Big pharma passes this off as "tinnitis" so they can sell a drug for it but I'm convinced it has something to do with the change in earth's frequencies. Some are more sensitive to this change than others. Strange days! |
