Radiatively driven electron - positron jets from two component accretion flows

چکیده
Matter accreting onto black holes has long been known to have standing or oscillating shock waves. The post-shock matter puffs up in the form of a torus, which intercepts soft photons from the outer Keplerian disc and inverse Comptonizes to produce hard photons. The post-shock region also produces jets. We study the interaction of both hard photons and soft photons, with onaxis electron-positron jets. We show that the radiation from post-shock torus accelerates the flow to relativistic velocities, while that from the Keplerian disc has marginal effect. We also show that, the velocity at infinity or terminal velocity θ, depends on the shock location in the disc.

Radiatively driven rotating pair-plasma jets from two component accretion flows
Centrifugal pressure of matter spiralling onto black holes, have long been known to produce standing or oscillating shocks. The post-shock disc puffs up in the form of a torus, which intercepts soft photons from the outer Keplerian disc and inverse Comptonizes them to produce hard photons. The post-shock region also produces jets. We study the interaction of both hard photons and soft photons, ...
متن کاملJet Formation in Black Hole Accretion Systems I: Theoretical Unification Model
Two types of relativistic jets are suggested to form near accreting black holes: a potentially ultrarelativistic Poynting-dominated jet and a Poynting-baryon jet. One source of jet matter is electron-positron pair production, which is driven by neutrino annihilation in GRBs and photon annihilation in AGN and x-ray binaries. GRB Poynting-dominated jets are also loaded by electron-proton pairs by...
متن کامل3D MHD Simulations of Laboratory Plasma Jets
Jets and outflows are thought to be an integral part of accretion phenomena and are associated with a large variety of objects. In these systems, the interaction of magnetic fields with an accretion disk and/or a magnetized central object is thought to be responsible for the acceleration and collimation of plasma into jets and wider angle flows. In this paper we present three-dimensional MHD si...
متن کاملRadiatively Driven Jets around Black Holes
The hot, puffed up, post-shock region of an advective disc is the source of high energy photons and also the jets and outflows. We study the relativistic equations of motion of jets as these high energy photons interact with them. We show that the much discussed terminal velocity of jets depends on the comparative value of radiative energy density, flux and the radiative pressure. We show that ...
متن کاملWhere to Look for Radiatively Inefficient Accretion Flows (and Find Them)
We have studied the nuclear emission detected in high-resolution radio and optical data of carefully selected samples of low luminosity AGN (LLAGN) in the local universe. When the Eddington ratio is plotted against the nuclear “radio-loudness” parameter, sources divide according to their physical properties. It is thus possible to disentangle between nuclear jets and accretion disks of differen...
