Summary

Description
Русский: Так художник представляет себе окрестности сверхмассивной черной дыры, какие обычно располагаются в сердце многих галактик. Черная дыра окружена ярко светящимся аккреционным диском, состоящим из очень горячего вещества, стремящегося к поверхности черной дыры. Еще дальше от дыры расположен пылевой тор. Часто наблюдаются высокоскоростные джеты – выбросы вещества из полюсов черной дыры, которые могу простираться на огромные расстояния. Наблюдения на телескопе ALMA зарегистрировали вблизи черной дыры в основании джетов очень сильное магнитное поле, которое, вероятно, участвует в формировании и коллимации джетов.
English: This artist’s impression shows the surroundings of a supermassive black hole, typical of that found at the heart of many galaxies. The black hole itself is surrounded by a brilliant accretion disc of very hot, infalling material and, further out, a dusty torus. There are also often high-speed jets of material ejected at the black hole’s poles that can extend huge distances into space. Observations with ALMA have detected a very strong magnetic field close to the black hole at the base of the jets and this is probably involved in jet production and collimation.
