Chandra Image of XTE J1550-564 (June 2000) This Chandra image taken in June 2000 shows the black hole XTE J1550-564 (center) and the approaching eastern jet (right). In four years the jets moved about two light years from the black hole.

Summary

Description	English: Chandra Image of XTE J1550-564 (June 2000) This Chandra image taken in June 2000 shows the black hole XTE J1550-564 (center) and the approaching eastern jet (right). In four years the jets moved about two light years from the black hole. The jet appears faint because the High Energy Transmission Grating was in place for this observation. The apparent large size of the source of X-rays from the vicinity of the black hole is an instrumental artifact due to the brightness of the source. The size of the source is consistent with a point-like object. Scale: Image is 1.64 x 0.82 arcmin.

Image title	A series of images from Chandra has revealed the evolution of large-scale X-ray jets traveling at near the speed of light. Following an outburst of X-rays from the black hole, observations with Chandra and radio telescopes detected first one jet (left), then another opposing jet (right) of high-energy particles moving away from the black hole at about half the speed of light. Four years after the outburst, the jets had moved more than 3 light years apart with the left jet slowing down and disappearing. The schematic shows gaseous matter being pulled from a normal star to form a disk around the black hole. When the gas is heated to temperatures of millions of degrees it gives off X-rays and intense electromagnetic forces in the disk can expel jets of high-energy particles.
