The structure of the M87 jet, from milliarcsecond to arcsecond scales, is extensively investigated, utilizing the images taken with the European VLBI Network, MERLIN, and Very Long Baseline Array. We discover that the jet maintains a parabolic streamline over a range in size scale equal to 105 times the Schwarzschild radius. The jet then transitions into a conical shape farther downstream. This suggests that the magnetohydrodynamic jet is initially subjected to the confinement by the external gas which is dominated by the gravitational influence of the supermassive black hole. Afterward the jet then freely expands with a conical shape. This geometrical transition indicates that the origin of the HST-1 complex may be a consequence of the overcollimation of the jet. Our result suggests that when even higher angular resolution is provided by a future submillimeter very long baseline interferometry experiments, we will be able to explore the origin of active galactic nucleus jets.read more

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present measurements of the properties of the central radio source in M87 using Event Horizon Telescope data obtained during the 2017 campaign, and find that >50% of the total flux at arcsecond scales comes from near the horizon and that the emission is dramatically suppressed interior to this region by a factor >10, providing direct evidence of the predicted shadow of a black hole.

General relativistic magnetohydrodynamic simulations of the jet formation and large-scale propagation from black hole accretion systems
TL;DR: In this article, the formation and large-scale propagation of Poynting-dominated jets produced by accreting, rapidly rotating black hole systems are studied by numerically integrating the general relativistic magnetohydrodynamic equations of motion to follow the self-consistent interaction between accretion discs and black holes.

The relation between accretion rate and jet power in X-ray luminous elliptical galaxies
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used Chandra X-ray observations of nine nearby, Xray luminous elliptical galaxies with good optical velocity dispersion measurements to show that a tight correlation exists between the Bondi accretion rates calculated from the observed gas temperature and density profiles and estimated black hole masses, and the power emerging from these systems in relativistic jets.

The feedback-regulated growth of black holes and bulges through gas accretion and starbursts in cluster central dominant galaxies
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the relationship between cooling and star formation and found that the star formation rates are approaching or are comparable to X-ray and far-UV limits on the rates of gas condensation onto the central galaxy.
