Overview

• Astronomers observed magnetic winds around the black hole in galaxy ESO320-G030 using ALMA in Chile.
• These winds lift and remove some matter, slowing the accretion disk's rotation and allowing more matter to fall in.
• The discovery challenges previous assumptions about how black holes feed and grow.
• Researchers aim to determine if this phenomenon is common in other galaxies with supermassive black holes.
• The study offers insights into the role of magnetic forces in galaxy and black hole evolution.
