Vampire black hole is a ‘cosmic particle accelerator’ that may solve a longstanding astronomy mystery
“SS 433 cannot be the source of the very energetic, peta–electronvolt, cosmic-ray protons detected on Earth because the source is too young for its particles to reach Earth once they have escaped the source,” Bosch-Ramon wrote. “However, closer and longer-lived microquasars, even if weaker and individually harder to detect, could be contributing non-negligibly to local peta–electron volt cosmic rays.”
