CfA Astronomers Help Catch Rare Gamma-Ray Outburst from M87’s Powerful Jet

  • Light curve of the gamma-ray flare (bottom) and collection of quasi-simulated images of the M87 jet (top) at various scales obtained in radio and X-ray during the 2018 campaign. The instrument, the wavelength observation range and scale are shown at the top left of each image. Credits:EHT Collaboration, Fermi-LAT Collaboration, H.E.S.S.
