Discovery lands NWU researcher spot in top publication─── 12:26 Thu, 06 May 2021
When magnetic fields and long strokes of hot gas, known as jets, interact, the jets become bent.
This is an important discovery and, for his contribution to it, Prof James O Chibueze has earned a space in the prestigious research publication Nature.
An associate professor at the North-West University’s Centre for Space Research, Prof. James is the lead author of the paper, “Jets from MRC 0600-399 bent by magnetic fields in the cluster Abell 3376”.
His co-authors include researchers from the University of Nigeria, Kyushu University, the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan, the SRON Netherlands Institute for Space Research, Kagoshima University, the South African Radio Astronomy Observatory, Rhodes University, Nagoya University, the Research Center for Statistical Machine Learning, and the Institute of Statistical Mathematics.
