Saw this article and thought I'd share :) This is going to be a silly question, I'm sure, but what is the corona of a black hole? I tried to google it, but the first few pages were nothing but articles about this.

1. this in not really my field of physics but from what i have gathered of wiki a corona is xrays protruding from the black hole. http://www.space.com/30958-supermassive-black-hole-flares.html
2. wiki briefly explains a corona http://www.space.com/30958-supermassive-black-hole-flares.html

Here's the technical article that describes the same event

Here's a JPL news item/press release that describes the corona, its ejection, and the flare mechanism in fairly basic terms:

Answers my questions perfectly, thank you :)

I *thought* that's what it was, but didn't want to assume. I figured the title of the article was misleading/left ambiguous/clickbait :P
