Scientists have recently verified the existence of spin in our neighboring radio galaxy, M87, which houses a supermassive black hole 6.5 billion times larger than the Sun.
The research team concentrated on M87 in this study because it was there that the first observational astrophysical jet was seen in 1918. Thanks to its proximity, the jet formation regions close to the black hole can be resolved in detail with Very Long Baseline Interferometry , as represented by recent black hole shadow imaging with the Event Horizon Telescope .
To give some context, the extraordinary gravitational force and power of plasma outflows, known as jets, that approach the speed of light and extend thousands of light-years away allow supermassive black holes at the center of active galaxies—the most disruptive celestial objects in our universe—to accrete enormous amounts of material.
spin, an essential component in this process and the most fundamental metric after black hole mass had not been directly detected.The crucial question at the center of this finding is what force in the cosmos can change the path of such a strong jet. The behavior of the accretion disk, which is connected to the center supermassive black hole, may hold the key to the solution.
