A blazar is a feeding super-massive black-hole (SMBH) in the heart of a distant galaxy that produces a high-energy jet viewed face-on from Earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Blazars are one of the most luminous and energetic objects in the known universe with a jet composed of ionized matter traveling at nearly the speed of light directed very nearly towards an observer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The team studied in great details 1ES 0806+524\u2019 flux, color, and spectral index variations within a day and long timescales of the blazer and explained the mechanism behind the variations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Blazars are among one of the most favourite astronomical transient objects because they emit radiation in the complete EM spectrum, and their flux and polarization are highly variable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Aryabhatta Research Institute of Observational Sciences<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Aryabhatta Research Institute of Observational Sciences (ARIES) is a leading research institute in Nainital, Uttarakhand which specializes in Astronomy, Astrophysics and Atmospheric Sciences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is an autonomous body under the Department of Science and Technology (DST), Government of India, the institute is situated at Manora Peak about 9 km from Nainital, a popular hill station.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The institute was started on 20 April 1954 under the supervision of Dr.A.N.Singh as Uttar Pradesh State Observatory (UPSO) in the premises of the Govt. Sanskrit College.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Institute has in-house workshops to meet the requirements of electronic, mechanical, and optical maintenance of the instruments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
ARIES has a modern computer center with internet facility and a well maintained library with more than 10,000 volumes of research journals and an excellent collection of books on Astronomy & Astrophysics and Atmospheric Sciences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Black Hole<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
It is a great amount of matter packed into a very small area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The result is a gravitational field so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A black hole is a region of spacetime where gravity is so strong that nothing\u2014no particles or even electromagnetic radiation such as light\u2014can escape from it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They were predicted by Einstein’s theory of general relativity.The theory of general relativity predicts that a sufficiently compact mass can deform spacetime to form a black hole.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
Through 153 nights, 17 scientists from 9 countries in Europe and Asia including researchers from Aryabhatta Research Institute of Observational Sciences (ARIES), Nainital took 2263 image frames and observed the changes in a very high energy gamma-ray emitting blazar \u20181ES 0806+524\u2019 using seven optical telescopes in Europe and Asia.
