Jets: Models
Scientific paper
Astrophysical jets are physical conduits along which mass, momentum, energy and magnetic flux are channeled from the stellar, Galactic and extra-galactic objects to the outer medium. The jet phenomenon is seen on scales that cover more than seven orders of magnitude and some of the extra-galactic radio jets are considered to be the largest single coherent structures found in the universe. Though it is now a well-known fact that a variety of celestial objects, spanning from stars (having all masses) during their formation (young stellar objects) to active galactic nuclei (and possibly sources of γ-ray bursts) suffer mass loss through jets, the detailed nature of the origin of the extragalactic jets is not quite clear due to the lack of proper understanding of the underlying physical mechanism responsible for jet production. The author proposes a non-mathematical model which is able to explain the formation of extragalactic jets using a self-consistent inflow-outflow system.
