Stationary 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 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 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 کاملThermal material in relativistic jets
The properties of thermal material coexisting with non–thermal emitting plasma and strong magnetic field in the powerful jets of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) are examined. Theoretical and observational constraints on the physical properties of this ‘cold’ component are determined. While the presence of a thermal component occupying a fraction ∼ 10 of the jet volume is possible, it seems unlikel...
متن کاملRelativistic Jets from Accretion Disks
The jets observed to emanate from many compact accreting objects may arise from the twisting of a magnetic field threading a differentially rotating accretion disk which acts to magnetically extract angular momentum and energy from the disk. Two main regimes have been discussed, hydromagnetic jets, which have a significant mass flux and have energy and angular momentum carried by both matter an...
