NASA detected large gas clouds surrounding the black hole

A team of astronomers uses data from Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) of the US Aerospace Agency (NASA) to detect giant gas clouds surrounding the black supersonic holes cylinder.

According to Redorbit.com, a science website on February 19, scientists at California State University, San Diego collected 16 years of data from RXTE, a satellite orbiting Earth now. stop working for the above finding.

'One of the biggest unanswered questions about supermassive black holes is how the amount of gas equivalent to thousands of years of light grows and assembles into giant plates that power the black hole. - Alex Markowitz, an astrophysicist at the university, also works for Karl Remeis Astronomical Observatory in Bamberg, Germany, speaking in a statement - Understanding the size, shape and number of groups The clouds surrounding this black hole will give us a clearer idea of ​​how they work. '

This is the first study to study the environment around cosmic black holes and is the longest study of black holes ever. The research team published their findings in a specialized journal Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, which included various properties of black holes and how they were measured.

These clouds revolve around a supermassive black hole with a few weeks to light years. RXTE satellite collects data by measuring the emission of X-rays from objects outside the universe with time accuracy from a few microseconds to years. Satellite was shut down by NASA in 2012, but had 12 years of successful operation.
