Scientific paper

We present a unified model for the formation of jets in X-ray binaries and active galactic nuclei. It has been previously shown that the dividing line between FR I and FR II galaxies in luminosity occurs at the same luminosity as the dividing line between gas-pressure and radiation-pressure dominated disks. We combine past results showing that the scale heights for the corona of `low state' flows tend to be larger than those for radiation pressure dominated disks and that pair production should occur when coronal photons enter a relativistic proto-jet to show that, for reasonable assumptions, the jets of FR I galaxies will be dynamically dominated by pairs while the jets of FR II systems will be dynamically dominated by protons.
