This result provides a new window to explore the hidden side of the magnetized Universe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Astronomers used MeerKAT telescope, the state-of-the-art radio interferometer located in South Africa, to unveil the origin of unusual jets in the merging galaxy cluster Abell <a>3376<\/a><a href=\"#_msocom_1\">[TT1]<\/a>&nbsp;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Abell 3376 consists of violently colliding two galaxy sub-clusters. A galaxy at the center of the cluster erupts two powerful jets. The unprecedentedly high-quality radio image of MeerKAT revealed for the first time that the jets bent with almost 90 degree, and wisp along the boundary between two clusters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To elucidate the origin of this unusual morphology of the jets, a numerical simulation was performed with ATERUI II, the most powerful supercomputer in the world. The simulations revealed that the jets bent due to an interaction with intracluster magnetic fields.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>New observations and simulations show that jets of high-speed particles emitted by the central massive black hole in a powerful radio galaxy in clusters can be used to map the structure of invisible intracluster magnetic fields. This opens a new window for investigating previously unexplored aspects of clusters of galaxies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These results appeared as Chibueze, Sakemi, Ohmura et. al. \u201c<em>Jets from MRC 0600-399 bent by magnetic fields in the cluster Abell 3376<\/em>\u201d in Nature on May 6, 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>See the URL below for the details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>NAOJ:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nao.ac.jp\/en\/news\/science\/2021\/20210506-cfca.html\">https:\/\/www.nao.ac.jp\/en\/news\/science\/2021\/20210506-cfca.html<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr. Mami Machida released her research results. \uff11\uff0eSummary\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000 An international te [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":47,"featured_media":2296,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"cybocfi_hide_featured_image":"yes","_locale":"en_US","_original_post":"https:\/\/sci.nao.ac.jp\/main\/?p=2282","footnotes":""},"categories":[23,19],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2287","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-highlights-en","category-highlights","en-US"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sci.nao.ac.jp\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2287","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sci.nao.ac.jp\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sci.nao.ac.jp\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sci.nao.ac.jp\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/47"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sci.nao.ac.jp\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2287"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/sci.nao.ac.jp\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2287\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2906,"href":"https:\/\/sci.nao.ac.jp\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2287\/revisions\/2906"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sci.nao.ac.jp\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2296"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sci.nao.ac.jp\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2287"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sci.nao.ac.jp\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2287"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sci.nao.ac.jp\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2287"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
