The impact of galactic jets on neighboring stars

Una impresionante escena cósmica se desarrolla en esta imagen detallada, que representa la intrincada interacción entre un 'chorro' masivo y una 'estrella' dentro de una galaxia vibrante. En el lado izquierdo, un diagrama esquemático ilustra la interacción, mostrando la compleja dinámica entre el poderoso "flujo relativista" del chorro y los vientos estelares emitidos por la estrella. El lado derecho presenta una simulación numérica que visualiza la 'densidad de gas' en la región. El chorro, representado en un radiante 'azul', se transmite hacia abajo, mientras que la estrella se acerca desde la derecha, su trayectoria se intersecta con el camino del chorro. Las "líneas de corriente" en diferentes colores indican la velocidad del gas, revelando cómo los vientos de la estrella interactúan con el chorro, creando una región turbulenta detrás del punto de interacción, representada en tonos de "verde". Esta área caótica significa la mezcla del viento estelar y el material del chorro. La imagen captura el momento e

Galactic dolls: a fascinating phenomenon

In our previous analyzes, we have explored the impressors that emerge from the active galaxy nuclei, where a supermassive black hole devours. These jets, which can reach colossal dimensions, not only transform the region of stellar formation, but also influence the structure of the entire galaxy. However, their size and intensity vary considerably, depending on factors such as the age of the doll, their power, and the characteristics of the origin galaxy.

The relationship between stars and jets

Stars orbiting around the galactic nucleus can cross these massive structures. We may imagine the doll will destroy them, but the reality is very different. Stars emit stellar winds composed of radiation -driven particles, similar to solar winds that generate auroras on our planet. These particles can reach supersonic speeds and cause shock waves that impact on the interstellar environment.

Interactions in the flow

Upon entering the doll, these winds face an extremely powerful flow of energy. This causes a shock wave approaching the star, creating a fascinating scenario that can be observed by numerical simulations. In these simulations, you can see how the doll interacts with the stellar wind, generating a region of turbulence that mixes both elements.

The composition of the jets: a key aspect

The composition of the jets is affected by the stars around them. The stellar winds can pollute these jets with protons, which are incorporated into the flow of the doll, altering their dynamics. Our studies suggest that in less powerful hats, this pollution can lead to significant loss of speed.

Neutrins and Cosmic Raigs

Another intriguing aspect is the possible production of neutrinos by the jets. Although it is known that jets may be cosmic ray sources, it has recently been suggested that they could also generate high energy neutrinos. However, in order to produce these neutrins, we need accelerated protons at extreme speeds, and we have not yet identified the process that would allow a doll, which initially does not contain many protons, accumulate and accelerate sufficient particles.

The mystery continues

The interaction between jets and stars is one of the great mysteries of modern astronomy. The few high-energy neutrinos detections suggest that there may be fast and cataclysmic events in the heart of the jets. Thus, the scientific debate continues, keeping the curiosity alive about the phenomena surrounding these imposing galactic structures. Solls and their interactions not only challenge our current understanding, but also open the door for new questions and fascinating discoveries.
