The Physics of E x B-Drifting Jets
arXiv:astro-ph/0406318 · doi:10.1007/BF02702368
Abstract
It is argued that the physical jets consist of monoenergetic pairplasma performing almost lossfree ExB-drift. The observed broad power-law spectra result on collision with obstacles, via post-acceleration by the (huge) convected Poynting flux.
