Re: Singularity - Black Holes, Gamma Rays, Magnetars, etc

A rare hyper-magnetic star is now believed to be a precursor to magnetars.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=E9vQiDP_3zU

These stars possess the strongest magnetic fields in the universe, trillions of times stronger than the sun.  So strong in fact, that tye space around them is constantly emitting virtual particles that are pulled outvof the vacuum.

A Kilonova Simulated in 3D
https://www.universetoday.com/163846/a- … ted-in-3d/
In 2017, astronomers detected gravitational waves from colliding neutron stars for the first time: a kilonova. Enormous amounts of heavy metals were detected in the light from the explosion, and astronomers continued to watch the expanding debris cloud.
Researchers have continued to study this event. Now, using a three-dimensional computer simulation, they have created a new recreation of this merger — second by second, as it happened — giving insights into all the high-energy mayhem and heavy elements formation in this catastrophic event.

Re: Singularity - Black Holes, Gamma Rays, Magnetars, etc

Webb recently detected tellurium, an element rarer than platinum on Earth, in the explosive aftermath of two neutron stars merging

https://twitter.com/NASAWebb/status/1717198085955215468

Webb also helped scientists detect the chemical element tellurium in the explosion’s aftermath.
Other elements near tellurium on the periodic table – like iodine, which is needed for much of life on Earth – are also likely to be present among the kilonova’s ejected material.

Re: Singularity - Black Holes, Gamma Rays, Magnetars, etc

In Cosmology Theory a white hole is a hypothetical region of spacetime and singularity that cannot be entered from the outside, although energy-matter, light and information can escape from it, in this sense, it is the reverse of a black hole, it is predicted by general relativity.

The White Hole has not been confirmed by observation and is more in the realm of scifi, it is also believed that time travel or teleportation may be completed or become more of a reality, it has been postulated that white holes could be the temporal inverse of a black hole.. The White hole object is not a wormhole, this is a another type of hypothetical structure connecting disparate points in spacetime. Israeli astronomers Alon Retter and Shlomo Heller suggest that the GRB 060614 anomalous gamma-ray burst that occurred in 2006 was a "white hole". GRB 060614 was a gamma-ray burst detected by the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory in June 2006, with peculiar properties. It challenged a previously held scientific consensus on gamma-ray burst progenitors and black holes. Stephen Hawking and others have proposed that these supermassive black holes spawn a supermassive white hole.

The Theory of General Relativity Says White Holes Should Exist. So Where Are They?
https://www.popularmechanics.com/space/ … hite-hole/
Could white holes be doorways to distant regions of the universe or to other universes entirely, or just endless fountains spraying matter and energy?

In quantum mechanics, the black hole emits Hawking radiation and so it can come to thermal equilibrium with a gas of radiation (not compulsory).

Re: Singularity - Black Holes, Gamma Rays, Magnetars, etc

The latest podcast from Anton Petrov.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=oRyHKBsi-q4

Latest data from James Webb suggests that the supermassive blackholes at the heart of most galaxies, formed by direct gas cloud collapse at a time when the universe was younger and much denser.  Unlike stellar mass blackholes, they did not form from supernova.  The turbulence introduced by these black holes likely catalysed early star formation.  This explains why images from James Webb show fully formed galaxies relatively early in the universe.

JWST observations explore molecular outflows of a nearby merging galaxy
https://phys.org/news/2024-04-jwst-expl … earby.html

NGC 3256 is a starburst galaxy located some 122 million light years away in the constellation Vela. It is composed of two gas-rich disk galaxies in a late-stage major merger and is one of the most luminous nearby systems.

NGC 3256 shows a complex and tidally disturbed morphology, with significantly distorted spiral arms and prominent dust lanes. Previous observations have found that the galaxy has two nuclei: an optically unobscured northern nucleus with signs of starburst activity and a southern heavily obscured, low-luminosity nucleus or a nascent active galactic nucleus (AGN). Moreover, molecular hydrogen outflows originating from these nuclei have been detected.

A group of astronomers led by Thomas Bohn of Hiroshima University in Japan has recently investigated these outflows in NGC 3256, in order to assess their kinematics and energetics, and to evaluate their impact on the local interstellar medium (ISM). For this purpose, they employed JWST's Near-InfraRed Spectrograph (NIRSpec) and Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI).

"With JWST, we can now perform the most detailed, spatially resolved analysis of outflowing warm H2 gas to date in NGC 3256. The unprecedented spatial resolution of JWST enables us to examine the warm H2 component on scales of ∼40–100 pc," the researchers wrote.

The observations detected warm, outflowing gas of molecular hydrogen in a collimated outflow originating from the southern nucleus. However, no significant outflowing gas of molecular hydrogen originating from the northern nucleus has been identified.
