New Research Explains How Dual Accretion Disks Drive Black Hole Jets

New Research Explains How Dual Accretion Disks Drive Black Hole Jets

Audio narration · Coming soon

Recent research addresses the paradox of some supermassive black holes (SMBH) producing jets despite having thin, cold accretion disks. The study reveals that accretion disks can be divided into an outer cold disk and an inner hot disk, with the latter driving the jets through strong magnetic fields. This finding clarifies the mechanisms behind SMBH jet formation.
