Description

It is not easy to register the jet emanating from M87, not so much because of its weakness and subtlety, but mainly because of the high brightness of the core, which overexposes the pixels near the center of the galaxy, which hides the fine details in that region. In the images and first treatments, the plasma jet only appears as a small bulge or peak that indicates its presence and little else. Only after careful but aggressive processing does this structure become apparent. From here it is possible to calculate the real spatial dimensions of the M87 jet in the images obtained, which show a value of about 4,542 light years (± 285 al) in length, and 855.6 light years (± 285 al) in width.

No es fácil registrar el jet que emana de M87, no tanto por la debilidad y sutileza de este, sino principalmente por el gran brillo del núcleo, que sobreexpone los pixeles cercanos al centro de la galaxia, lo que nos oculta los detalles finos en esa región. En las imágenes y primeros tratamientos el chorro de plasma solo aparece como un pequeño abultamiento o pico que indica su presencia y poco más. Solo después de un cuidadoso pero agresivo procesado se hace evidente esta estructura. A partir de aquí es posible calcular las dimensiones espaciales reales del jet de M87 en las imágenes obtenidas, que arrojan un valor de unos 4.542 años luz (±285 al) de longitud, y 855,6 años luz (± 285 al)[b] [/b]de anchura.
