VIVAnews -A very hot elements have been detected by the gamma-ray Observatory integral property of the European Space Agency, in a matter of milliseconds before he lapsed into the middle of nowhere in the black hole (black hole).
These findings reveal the existence of a magnetic field that provides the opportunity to qualify for the particles are sucked up by black hole.
From observation, several hundred kilometers from the center of a black hole, the room around an area of stormy particles and radiation. A giant storm that is made up of particles falling into a black hole with speeds approaching the speed of light. As a result, the temperature rose to the number of millions of degrees Celsius.
Generally, it takes only one millisecond for the particles to reach that point. But today astronomers found that the turbulent region was also has a magnetic field that provides an outlet for particles that sucked.
"The findings of the polarized emissions from emission black hole is finding unique," said Christoph Winkler, Integral Project Scientist ESA, as quoted Cosmosmagazine, of 8 April 2011. "This is the first time identified magnetic field very close to a black hole," he said.
The discovery itself begins when Philippe Laurent, Chairman of the team of researchers from the Institute for Research into the Fundamental Laws of the Universe (IRFU) in Central France observed black hole Cygnus X-1. When it, Laurent and his colleagues saw that he was undermining a nearby star and "consuming" gas stars.
From the evidence they found, it is revealed that the magnetic field that is strong enough to seize a portion of the particle of the gravitational forces of a giant black hole owned and threw it out, creating a burst of particles into space.
"We need to use almost all the observations that have been created by the Integral of Cygnus X-1 to perform this detection," said Laurent. "We don't yet know exactly how the particles fall into a torrent. Still a lot of debate going on among the observers, and further research will help make a conclusion, "said Laurent.
Before this, burst around black hole was never arrested by the radio telescope, however such observation can not see black hole in detail is enough to know how close black hole it with the source of the blast. "This makes the integral research becomes very valuable," said Laurent. (eh)
