Black Hole in Cygnus X-3 System Mimics Behavior of Distant Quasars

A new study utilizing NASA’s IXPE has revealed striking similarities between the X-ray emission patterns of the Cygnus X-3 binary system and distant quasars. The study suggests a funnel-shaped cavity around a probable black hole amplifies the X-ray emissions, potentially breaking the Eddington Limit. This discovery offers new insights into the behavior of ultra-luminous X-ray sources (ULXs) found in distant galaxies.
