Indian Scientists Detect Radiation from Extragalactic Black Hole
Recently, scientists from ISRO's U. R. Rao Satellite Centre and IIT Guwahati have achieved a groundbreaking feat by detecting radiation from an extragalactic black hole source.
- The Department of Science and Technology revealed that X-ray polarimetry was the technique employed to capture radiation emitted by an extragalactic black hole near the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC).
- LMC X-3, a binary system comprising a black hole and a hot, massive star, serves as the source for the detected radiation.
- Discovered in 1971 by an orbiting X-ray telescope, LMC X-3 is a thermally dominated persistent extragalactic black hole source.
- NASA's Imaging X-ray Polarimetry ....
