Inflation of 430-parsec bipolar radio bubbles in the Galactic Centre by an energetic event

I. Heywood, F. Camilo, W. D. Cotton +96

The Galactic Centre contains a supermassive black hole with a mass of 4 million suns within an environment that differs markedly from that of the Galactic disk. While the black hol…
