Search for wormhole candidates in active galactic nuclei: radiation from colliding accreting flows

Understand

The underlying hypothesis of this work is that the active galactic nuclei (AGNs) are wormhole mouths rather than supermassive black holes (SMBHs).

• Under some - quite general - assumptions such wormholes may emit gamma radiation as a result of a collision of accreting flows inside the wormholes.
• This radiation has a distinctive spectrum much different from those of jets or accretion disks of AGNs.
• An observation of such radiation would serve as evidence of the existence of wormholes.
