A magnetic halo in the Milky Way: New discoveries about galactic outflows

Summary

Researchers have identified several magnetized structures extending far above and below the galactic plane. The filaments are related to the hot winds with a temperature of 3.5 million Kelvin, ejected from the galactic Disk and powered by star-forming regions.

The research team used a comprehensive multi-wavelength survey, covering frequencies from radio to gamma-rays, to analyze these structures. It is the first observational evidence linking the Milky Way's star-forming ring at the end of the galactic bar with the formation of large-scale galactic outflows.

The study opens up new frontiers in our understanding of the galactic halo. It is the first comprehensive multi-wavelength study for the eROSITA Bubbles since their discovery in 2020.

Is this from stars near our blackhole in the center?

Most likely since it's about the outflows

It always amazes how there's so much we never saw before even though we're constantly searching and recording the skies

It's just that large!

I'm guessing when they talk about how it controls growth, this means there's a decent push and pull that occurs that keeps things at bay.
