The strongest radiation from a black hole is fixed

The space observatory detected a burst of intense X-ray radiation from the center of the Milky Way. The ejection was recorded near the supermassive black hole Sagittarius A * (Sgr A *).

The surge was noticed by the Chandra space x-ray observatory, which is currently studying the center of the Milky Way. The radiation intensity is 400 times the normal level in this region of the galaxy, and 3 times more than the previous emission, dating back to 2012.

At the meeting of the American Astronomical Community (AAS), scientists provided two possible explanations for so much strong radiation. First, the behavior of a black hole resembles our Sun, which also radiates in the X-ray range. In the Sun, such emissions occur when the magnetic field lines approach each other, perhaps something similar happened with a black hole.

There is also a possibility that another object caused the radiation. An asteroid or another cosmic body was captured by a black hole and torn apart, and fragments began to radiate in the X-ray range due to monstrous acceleration.



The radiation itself was registered almost by chance, scientists observed this sky in anticipation of another event - the gas cloud G2 had to pass near the black hole Sagittarius A *, as a result of which, according to some scientists, G2 particles should be pulled into the black hole. As a result, another X-ray burst should have occurred. But at the time of closest approach of these two space objects, no radiation was recorded.

Scientists do not think that such massive radiation is associated with the alleged collision of the G2 cloud - the scale and power of the radiation are completely different. At the moment they are continuing to explore Sagittarius A *.
