Black Holes and Relativistic Jets
There is strong observational evidence that AGN, Galactic X-ray transients and (probably) γ-ray bursts are associated with black holes, and that these sources are able to form collimated, ultrarelativistic outflows. There is much interest in trying to understand how these prime movers are able to release energy from accreting gas and their own spin energy. Electromagnetic field plays a large ro...
متن کاملRelativistic Jets in Collapsars
We examine the propagation of two-dimensional relativistic jets through the stellar progenitor in the collapsar model for gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). Each jet is parameterized by a radius where it is introduced, and by its initial Lorentz factor, opening angle, power, and internal energy. In agreement with previous studies, we find that relativistic jets are collimated by their passage through the...
متن کاملStationary relativistic jets
In this paper we describe a simple numerical approach which allows to study the structure of steady-state axisymmetric relativistic jets using one-dimensional time-dependent simulations. It is based on the fact that for narrow jets with vz ≈ c the steady-state equations of relativistic magnetohydrodynamics can be accurately approximated by the one-dimensional time-dependent equations after the ...
متن کاملGeneral Relativistic MHD Jets
Magnetic fields connecting the immediate environs of rotating black holes to large distances appear to be the most promising mechanism for launching relativistic jets, an idea first developed by Blandford and Znajek in the mid-1970s. To enable an understanding of this process, we provide a brief introduction to dynamics and electromagnetism in the spacetime near black holes. We then present a b...
متن کاملSemantic Subtyping: Challenges, Perspectives, and Open Problems
Semantic subtyping is a relatively new approach to define subtyping relations where types are interpreted as sets and union, intersection and negation types have the corresponding set-theoretic interpretation. In this lecture we outline the approach, give an aperçu of its expressiveness and generality by applying it to the λ-calculus with recursive and product types and to the π-calculus. We th...
