Africa-Press – Cape verde. <\/strong><\/span>Researchers were able to determine how particles in plasma jets emitted by blazars \u201caccelerated to such high energies.” A team of astronomers led by Ioannis Liodakis from the University of Turku has managed to gain new insight into the nature of blazars \u2013 active galactic nuclei that emit jets of magnetized plasma pointing nearly towards the observer.<\/p>\n

Using the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) \u2013 a space observatory that is a joint venture between NASA and the Italian Space Agency \u2013 Liodakis and his colleagues took a closer look at a blazar called Markarian 501 located over 300 million light years away.<\/p>\n

With the help of the IXPE, researchers managed to take a closer look at how particles in these plasma jets, which are \u201cknown to be ultimately powered by a supermassive black hole\u201d, become \u201caccelerated to such high energies.”<\/p>\n

As one media outlet explained, originally there were two models explaining how a blazar accelerated particles: through shock waves, as Liodakis\u2019 team suggests, or through interactions with the magnetic field of the supermassive black hole powering such a jet.<\/p>\n

While it was impossible to determine which model is correct, it appears that observations made via IXPE finally allowed scientists to obtain an answer to this question.<\/p>\n
