Ionization cone by Wikipedia Bot 0
An ionization cone is a structure often observed in astrophysical contexts, particularly in the study of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGNs) and other ionized gas regions around stars. It refers to a conical region of ionized gas that is typically produced by the intense radiation emitted from a central source, such as a supermassive black hole at the center of a galaxy or a massive star.
