Astrophysical jet
Videos
An astrophysical jet is an astronomical phenomenon where ionised matter is expelled at high velocity from an astronomical object, in a pair of narrow streams aligned with the object's axis of rotation
The starburst galaxy Centaurus A, with its plasma jets extending over a million light years, is considered as the closest active radio galaxy to Earth. The 870-micron submillimetre data, from LABOCA on APEX, are shown in orange. X-ray data from the Chandra X-ray Observatory are shown in blue. Visible light data from the Wide Field Imager (WFI) on the MPG/ESO 2.2 m telescope located at La Silla, Chile, show the background stars and the galaxy's characteristic

In astronomy, a disk wind is a particle outflow observed around accretion disks, mainly near protoplanetary disks and active galactic nuclei. The disk wind is made up of a gaseous and a dusty componen
