'Vampire' Neutron Star Jets Traveling at Near-light Speeds
'Vampire' Neutron Star Jets Traveling at Near-light Speeds
Neutron stars, dense leftovers from supernova explosions, act like cosmic vampires by drawing in material from nearby companion stars. This interaction triggers powerful explosions on the neutron star's surface, resulting in jets that shoot out at nearly the speed of light.
Scientists have recently made strides in measuring these jet speeds, linking them to the characteristics of the neutron star and its companion. This breakthrough offers insights into the mechanics of jet formation not only around neutron stars but also in relation to the supermassive black holes at the centers of galaxies, deepening our understanding of these enigmatic cosmic phenomena.
