a feature that i wish was built into mastodon from the start & hope it eventually comes to heads.social. feel like being able to communicate only with people on your local server is one of the missing pieces in actually making local servers work.

Stratified wind from a super-Eddington X-ray binary is slower than expected
Accretion discs in strong gravity ubiquitously produce winds, seen as blueshifted absorption lines in the X-ray band of both stellar mass X-ray binaries (black holes and neutron stars), and supermassive black holes. Some of the most powerful winds (termed Eddington winds) are expected to arise from systems where radiation pressure is sufficient to unbind material from the inner disc ($L\gtrsim L_{\rm Edd}$). These winds should be extremely fast and carry a large amount of kinetic power, which, …

You get .... twitchy
For $5 tho? Totally great.
