Jets Driven by Accretion Onto Spinning Black Holes
arXiv:astro-ph/0505403
Abstract
We present a theoretical model for driving jets by accretion onto Kerr black holes and try to give an answer to the following question: How much energy could be extracted from a rotating black hole and its accretion disk in order to power relativistic jets in Active Galactic Nuclei?
