Him Hubble space telescope just discover it accident that separates the whole society scholarly life: him a jet from the supermassive black hole in the M87 galaxy appears to cause nova formation in its path.

As NASA scientists explain, these star explosion They generally occur in binary systems the birth of one white dwarf it collects hydrogen from a companion star and then explodes. The surprising thing is that heThe novae are not taken by the plane, but are close, in the dangerous area.

Astronomers agree spaceflight may be the fastest transport of hydrogen to white dwarfsthat caused it increased frequency of rashes. “We do not know what is happening, but it is a very interesting discovery. This suggests that we still need to understand how black hole jets interact with their stellar environment,” said Alec Lessing. from Stanford University, California, USA.

In the course of nine months, Hubble has recorded twice as many novae in the flight path compared to other parts of the galaxy, so the researchers confirmed that this plane had 3,000 light years longlaunched by black holes 6.5 billion solar massesit is especially changing the tourist area nearbyit is possible by the dispersal of hydrogen that causes frequent stellar eruptions.

“Although enhanced activity around the M87 jet has been suspected, Hubble provides detailed and statistically significant images that confirm this relationship.. The observed novae are more abundant in the jet region compared to other regions of the galaxy,” said Michael Shara, co-author of Discovery.

This discovery would not have been possible without Hubble’s unique capabilities.which has provided deep and clear images, impossible to obtain with ground-based telescopes. Novas in M87 occur almost daily, but Hubble’s observations show how the jet’s activity affects the galaxy’s host region.“The scientist finished.
