Unexplained Radio Signals Emitted by Star-size Black Hole Baffle Scientists

Astronomers have observed mysterious changes in a jet of highly magnetic plasma emitted by a small black hole known as GRS 1915+105. The changes occur within a fraction of a second and have been detected by the FAST telescope in China. The team believes that the black hole's rotation, which is not aligned with its accretion disk, may be causing the jet to wobble. This observation of quasi-periodic oscillations (QPO) in radio waves from a black hole could provide insights into the feeding habits of smaller black holes, although the exact cause of these oscillations remains unknown.

Unexplained radio signals detected from star-sized black hole

Astronomers have observed periodic changes in a jet of highly magnetic plasma emitted by a small black hole known as GRS 1915+105. These changes, detected by China's FAST telescope, suggest that the black hole's rotation may not be aligned with its accretion disk, causing the jet to wobble. The observed signal, with a frequency of about 5 Hertz, has never been seen before in radio waves from a black hole. This discovery could provide insights into the feeding habits of smaller black holes and the physics of black hole systems. The exact cause of these oscillations remains unknown, but further observations may help unravel the mystery.

"Surprising Radio Signal and Cosmic Smoke Signals: Unveiling Mysteries of the Universe"

Astronomers have observed periodic changes in a jet of highly magnetic plasma emitted by a small black hole known as GRS 1915+105. The changes, detected by China's FAST telescope, suggest that the black hole's rotation may not be aligned with its accretion disk, causing the jet to wobble. This peculiar signal, with a frequency of about 5 Hertz, has never been seen before in radio waves from a black hole. The observation of these changes in a microquasar like GRS 1915+105 could provide insights into the feeding habits of smaller black holes and the physics of black hole systems. The exact cause of these oscillations remains unknown, but continued observations may help unravel this mystery.
