Modeling M87’s jet: Why do black hole jets shine and pierce the cosmic sky?
An international team led by Dr. Yuan Feng from Shanghai Astronomical Observatory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has investigated the validity of the two main models of black hole jets by calculating the radiation predicted by these models and comparing it with observations of the M87 jet, and found that the “extraction of black hole rotational energy” model accurately predicted the observed jets, while the “extraction of accretion disk rotational energy” model struggled to explain the observational results.
