The magnetic field lines of our galaxy's central black hole are answering some questions about black hole structure.
A new image of our galaxy’s central black hole reveals the magnetic field surrounding the object in polarized light. The image reveals how gas and superheated matter in the immediate vicinity of the black hole move around it. But aside from that, it’s a great way to visualize the extreme physics happening at the center of our galaxy. The Milky Way’s supermassive black hole is named Sagittarius A*.
“Because Sgr A* moves around while we try to take its picture, it was difficult to construct even the unpolarised image,” said Geoffrey Bower, an astrophysicist at Taipei’s Academia Sinica and a member of the EHT Collaboration, in a European Southern Observatory release. “We were relieved that polarised imaging was even possible. Some models were far too scrambled and turbulent to construct a polarised image, but Nature was not so cruel.
