Researchers may now understand how the supermassive black hole at the heart of M87 launches a jet of plasma spreading across thousands of light-years.
An international team of researchers has modeled the region around the black hole in high detail, using state-of-the-art three-dimensional supercomputer simulations. This allowed the team to trace photons—particles of light—as they travel around the inner region of the disc.
To build these models, the supercomputer used a staggering million CPU hours per simulation. It had to simultaneously solve the equations of the greatest minds in physics, including the field equations of general relativity, devised by Albert Einstein, the equations of electromagnetism by James Maxwell, and the equations of fluid dynamics by Leonhard Euler.
