Astronomers say Sagittarius A
(Sgr A
) is spinning so quickly it is warping the spacetime surrounding it into a football shape.
The faster the spin, the flatter the football, the faster the speed of the black hole is.
The study uses data from NASA 's Chandra X-ray Observatory and the National Science Foundation's Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA).
The study is published in the journal Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society . More information: Ruth A Daly et al, New black hole spin values for Sagittarius A
obtained with the outflow method, Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society ( 2023 ). DOI: 10.1093 /mnras/ stad3228 Journal information: Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society Provided by Chandra X-ray Center .
