Abstract:
Astrophysical jets are collimated plasma outflows observed in systems of all mass
scales that far exceed the dimensions of their host. The current paradigm for the
launching, acceleration, collimation, and radiation of relativistic jets involves the
electromagnetic extraction of rotational energy from a spinning black hole and
the accretion disk around it. We present recent theoretical and observational
evidence that challenges the conventional black hole jet paradigm.
