New results from HST show relativistic jets on scales rarely seen before
... been able to measure the kiloparsec-scale proper motions of eleven nearby optical jets, in a sample that is the first of its kind. Many aspects of relativistic jets from super-massive black holes are not well understood, such as what...

First-ever photo proof of powerful jet emerging from colliding galaxies
...The paper is titled "TXS 2116-077: A gamma-ray emitting relativistic jet hosted in a galaxy merger." In addition to Paliya, who ..."Depending on the physical conditions, it may host a relativistic jet, but that's in the distant future." The team ...

Researchers probe black-hole mergers with fast-powered winds
... possibilities to account for this GRB have already been undertaken, with phenomena such as the afterglow emission of relativistic jets or strong disk winds in super-Eddington accretion disks have been postulated as the cause of this event. In order...

GRB afterglow observed by ALMA for the first time
... These incredibly powerful bursts are thought to originate from highly magnetised relativistic jets with either magnetic dissipation or internal shocks in the photosphere of the jet causing the GRB emission. The afterglow on the other hand is thought...
