New X-ray clues from blazars shed light on how active galaxies are powered
Astronomers studying some of the Universe's most energetic objects, known as blazars, have found new clues about the sources of their X-ray emissions, which could improve understanding of the extreme physical conditions around supermassive black holes and how active galaxies are powered. Researchers from the Aryabhatta Research Institute of Observational Sciences (ARIES), Nainital, an autonomous institute under the Department of Science and Technology (DST), studied four classical TeV blazars -...
