Jets create surrounding glow

Researchers found that the jets from the black hole produce a distinct halo. This phenomenon surrounds the central galaxy where the black hole resides. The observation confirms previous theoretical models about jet interactions.

Study published in Nature

The findings appear in a recent issue of the journal Nature. Authors include Roy, Borthakur, Heckman, and Singh. Their work was submitted for publication in 2026.
