The Best in Science News and Amazing Breakthroughs
"What we're seeing now is that there are strong, twisted, and organized magnetic fields near the black hole at the center of the Milky Way galaxy,""Along with Sgr A* having a strikingly similar polarization structure to that seen in the much larger and more powerful M87* black hole, we've learned that strong and ordered magnetic fields are critical to howTaking photos of black holes is not a trivial affair, and the Event Horizon Telescope collaboration has been working...
"By imaging polarized light from hot glowing gas near black holes, we are directly inferring the structure and strength of the magnetic fields that thread the flow of gas and matter that the black hole feeds on and ejects,""Polarized light teaches us a lot more about the astrophysics, the properties of the gas, and mechanisms that take place as a black hole feeds."
Once the signal was teased out of the data, the scientists needed to work out what it meant – map the magnetic field itself.
