Scientific paper

Jets are commonly observed in nuclei of active galaxies. VLBI- observations have demonstrated that nuclear jets are outflow channels of hot plasma. It is usually thought that the outflows start from the surroundings of supermassive black holes and propagate along their rotation axes. Here we propose another way of creating high speed plasma outflows from supermassive black holes which may be relevant in some jets. In mergers of binary black holes parts of the accretion disks surrounding the two black holes are squeezed into jet-like outflow patterns. Depending on the width of the bulk of the accretion disk the jets can be either narrow or wide. Also jets can be symmetric double jets, bent double jets or one-sided jets.
