L’@ehtelescope.bsky.social ha mappato con un dettaglio senza precedenti i campi magnetici di #OJ287, una sorgente candidata a ospitare un sistema binario di buchi neri supermassicci a 1,6 miliardi di anni luce, confermando la presenza di un campo magnetico elicoidale.

Astronomers went back to ultra‑sharp radio maps from RadioAstron and found the smoking gun; two distinct jets coming from a binary pair of supermassive black holes in quasar OJ 287. You can read my full post on Quora: qr.ae/pCCurr
🤯 Every 12 years, a galaxy 3.5B light-years away unleashes a flash equaling a trillion suns! ✨ Astronomers finally understand this cosmic mystery!🌌 #OJ287

Ne abbiamo “viste” tante con le onde gravitazionali, di coppie di buchi neri, ma nelle onde radio questa è la prima che si sia mai riusciti a osservare. Sono entrambi supermassicci e orbitano l'uno attorno all'altro nel cuore del quasar #OJ287, a 3.5 miliardi di anni luce da noi.

🌌 Historic cosmic first!
Astronomers have captured the first-ever image of two black holes orbiting each other — a breathtaking confirmation of decades of theory! The quasar OJ287, reveals a pair of titanic black holes dancing in deep space.

First Radio Image Shows Two Black Holes Orbiting Each Other
Astronomers captured the first radio image of a binary black‑hole pair in quasar OJ287, achieving resolution about 100,000 × higher than optical, and the black holes orbit every 12 years. Read more: getnews.me/first-radio-image-shows-... #blackhole #oj287
New Plasma Jet Image Shows Merging Black Holes in Galaxy OJ 287
RadioAstron imaging shows OJ 287’s plasma jet bent like a ribbon, indicating a binary black‑hole system. The galaxy is ~5 billion light-years away and jet sections exceed 10 trillion K. Read more: getnews.me/new-plasma-jet-image-sho... #oj287 #blackholes
Lo hanno osservato in modo coordinato da terra e dallo spazio, il getto del blazar #OJ287, riuscendo così a fotografare in dettaglio la sua forma sorprendentemente contorta. Segno, dicono gli autori dello studio, che là nel cuore di quella remota galassia i buchi neri supermassicci sono due.

'This animation shows the binary black hole system of #OJ287. Every 12 years, the smaller #BlackHole punches through the accretion disk of the larger black hole and results in a flash of light that is over a +++ times brighter than #Sun."
