English: Radio Image of XTE J1550-564 (June 2000) This image of XTE J1550-564 was taken with the Australia Telescope Compact Array on June 1, 2000. The stationary black hole is seen at the center of the image and the eastern jet clearly appears in the radio wavelengths. The diagonal tilts of the sources in the image are instrumental artifacts. |

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. |
