Jet formation: magnetic fields and accretion discs
- Abstract:
- We present new results on magnetized accretion discs launching bipolar, self-collimated jets. We show that the jet mass-loading depends critically on the disc vertical equilibrium. In particular, it is strongly influenced by any entropy generation occurring at the disc surface. Discs around supermassive black holes and close to a magnetohydrostatic balance have the potential to produce mildly relativistic jets.
