Researchers of the IAC participate in a study appearing today in Nature Astronomy, in which they have measured the delay between the X-rays and the visible light of a jet emitted by a black hole. Observations, carried out from the Roque de los Muchachos Observatory, combined with NASA’s NuSTAR satellite, shed light about the nature of its formation
