Precessing Jet from Active Galactic Nucleus Drives Galaxy Gas Outflow, Revealing Black Hole’s Role
On January 14, 2026, groundbreaking astrophysical research revealed that a precessing jet emanating from an Active Galactic Nucleus (AGN) is the driving force behind massive gas outflows from galaxies. This discovery sheds critical light on how supermassive black holes influence galactic evolution.
According to the study submitted to arXiv, titled ‘A precessing jet from an active galactic nucleus drives gas outflow from a di…’, the jet’s ‘precession’—a wobbling motion of its axis—creates a complex, dynamic outflow. This outflow is believed to expel gas essential for star formation, thereby regulating galaxy growth through a significant feedback mechanism.
This finding deepens our understanding of matter cycling and growth dynamics within the cosmos. Future research will focus on how such AGN activities contribute to the formation of large-scale cosmic structures.
