Relativistic Jet from Black Hole

An artist's impression of a relativistic jet propagating away from a black hole at close to the speed of light. Such jets are formed by the inner regions of the accretion flow: matter flowing inwards towards the black hole, via processes which are not yet fully understood. The accretion flow emits primarily in X-rays, the relativistic jet in the radio band: by combing observations in each band we can try and understand how such jets form and how much energy they carry away from the black hole.

A new deep infrared finder chart for the Cygnus X-3 field

Astronomy and Astrophysics 308:2 (1996) 497-498

Authors:

RP Fender, SJ Bell Burnell

Abstract:

We present a new deep K-band infrared finder chart for the Cygnus X-3 field, revealing the presence of at least ten previously undetected infrared objects within a few arc seconds of the source. Although these newly-discovered objects have in all likelihood not affected previous infrared spectroscopy or photometry of Cyg X-3, knowledge of their locations is an important consideration for future deep infrared spectroscopy of the source.
