A supermassive black hole in galaxy J1007+3540 has erupted after 100 million years of silence, producing powerful jets that are interacting with the surrounding galaxy cluster. The event has been observed by astronomers using highly sensitive radio instruments, including the Low Frequency Array and the Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope.
Astronomers have observed a supermassive black hole in galaxy J1007+3540 erupting after 100 million years of silence. The black hole is producing powerful jets that are interacting with the surrounding galaxy cluster, creating a chaotic structure. The event was observed using highly sensitive radio instruments. The galaxy is embedded in a massive cluster filled with hot gas, which is bending and compressing the jets. The observations reveal a bright, compact inner jet and a larger region of older, fading plasma. The study was conducted by researchers from India and Poland.
