Researchers Reveal Mysteries of Black Hole's Energy Source
The scientific community has made a breakthrough in understanding the energy mechanisms of the supermassive black hole M87*. Advanced simulations have unveiled how magnetic reconnection powers the black hole’s particle jet, alongside traditional methods, offering new insights into cosmic phenomena.
In a groundbreaking study, scientists have successfully simulated the energy processes powering M87*, the supermassive black hole at the center of the galaxy M87. Utilizing the FPIC code developed by a Frankfurt research team, this study illustrates how magnetic reconnection—a process where magnetic field lines break and reconfigure—works in tandem with the well-established Blandford-Znajek mechanism. This collaboration of forces leads to the release of rotational energy that fuels the black hole’s formidable particle jet. These findings are pivotal in enhancing our understanding of how black holes act as cosmic dynamo engines, playing a crucial role in energizing galaxies and influencing their evolution.
