New-Found Bipolar Jets About a Young Supernova Remnant
(Added 08/23/04) A spectacular new image of Cassiopeia A from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory released today has nearly 200 times more data than the "First Light" Chandra image of this object ...
Why are there bipolar jets associated with black holes?
Can black holes be used as a power source?
Are there any sub-atomic particles that are able to escape a hole's event horizon?
However, by 1997 things had developed to the point where the theory that GRBs are the result of the collapse and destruction of the most massive stars, blasting out bipolar jets of gamma rays, could be seriously considered.
bursts of gamma-rays in bipolar jets (possibly the source of some of the ``gamma-ray burst'' objects). Gravity finally wins. Nothing holds it up.
The accretion disk surrounding this black hole would be of such a scale as to explain the energy output of AGN. Bipolar jets are another feature of accretion disks surrounding black holes, ...
High-temperature silicates (e.g., olivine) formed near the protosun and were ejected, perhaps by strong bipolar jets, to the outer parts of the solar system. Recent data indicate that comets probably have porosities of ~75% and perhaps no solid core.
