Supercomputer simulations of giant radio galaxy formation challenge current theoretical models

Enabled by supercomputing, University of Pretoria (UP) researchers have led an international team of astronomers that has provided deeper insight into the entire life cycle (birth, growth and death) of giant radio galaxies, which resemble “cosmic fountains”—jets of superheated gas that are ejected into near-empty space from their spinning supermassive black holes. Enabled by supercomputing, University of Pretoria (UP) researchers have led an international team of astronomers that has provided deeper insight into the entire life cycle (birth, growth and death) of giant radio galaxies, which resemble “cosmic fountains”—jets of superheated gas that are ejected into near-empty space from their spinning supermassive black holes. Astronomy Phys.org – latest science and technology news stories
