A wobbling black hole jet is stripping a galaxy of star-forming gas
A nearby active galaxy called VV 340a offers a dramatic look at how a supermassive black hole can reshape its entire host. Astronomers observed a relatively weak but restless jet blasting outward from the galaxy’s core, wobbling like a spinning top as it plows through surrounding gas. Using a powerful mix of space- and ground-based telescopes, the team showed that this jet heats, ionizes, and flings gas out of the galaxy at a surprisingly high rate.Nomination link: https://researchawards.net/award-nomination-ecategoryawardsrcategoryawardee/?ecategory=Awards&rcategory=Awardee
