Relativistic Jet from Black Hole

An artist's impression of a relativistic jet propagating away from a black hole at close to the speed of light. Such jets are formed by the inner regions of the accretion flow: matter flowing inwards towards the black hole, via processes which are not yet fully understood. The accretion flow emits primarily in X-rays, the relativistic jet in the radio band: by combing observations in each band we can try and understand how such jets form and how much energy they carry away from the black hole.

Astrophysics and space science: From X-ray binaries to quasars: Black holes on all mass scales

, 2005

Authors:

TJ MacCarone, RP Fender, LC Ho

Abstract:

This volume brings together contributions from many of the world's leading authorities on black hole accretion. The papers within represent part of a new movement to make use of the relative advantages of studying stellar mass and supermassive black holes, and to bring together the knowledge gained from the two approaches. The topics discussed include observational and theoretical work-variability, spectroscopy, disk-jet connections, and multi-wavelength campaigns on black holes. © Springer 2005. All Rights Reserved.
