Interactions between Fast-Moving Electrons and Photons Lead to X-ray Emission from Blazar Jets
In new research, astronomers used NASA’s IXPE (Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer) to observe a highly relativistic jet emanating from the blazar BL Lacertae, a supermassive black hole surrounded by a bright disk and jets oriented toward Earth.
