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.
