    Scientists Map Gusty Winds in a far-off Neutron Star System

    April 12, 2023, Categories  Astronomy/Space

    In black space, the accretion disk is represented as a flat swirling disk with blue, pink red colors, and in the middle of it is tiny, glowing white sphere, the neutron star. Behind the accretion disk is a large teal sphere, the sun-like star. A teal noodle flows from the star to the accretion disk, representing the material drawn away from the star.

The findings may offer clues to how supermassive black holes shape entire galaxies.

    The 2D map of this ‘disk wind’ may reveal clues to galaxy formation.

    Astronomers have mapped the ‘disk winds’ associated with the accretion disk around Hercules X-1, a system in which a neutron star is drawing material away from a sun-like star. The findings may offer clues to how supermassive black holes shape entire galaxies.
