Abstract:
In view of the upcoming Event Horizon Telescope observations, we will present our own understanding of magnetically driven jets that originate around astrophysical black holes. We will differentiate between the electron-ion large scale jet from the accretion disk, and the electron-positron `spine' jet from the central black hole. We will challenge the standard disk wind model, and will present our own model of Magnetically Advected Winds (MAW) that is consistent with X-ray absorption line observations.
