A general relativistic effect in quasi-spherical objects as the possible origin of relativistic jets
arXiv:gr-qc/0505074 · doi:10.1007/s10509-007-9509-5
Abstract
Based on recently reported results, we present arguments that sign changes in proper acceleration of test particles on the symmetry axis and close to the r=2M surface of quasi-spherical objects - related to the quadrupole moment of the source - might be at the origin of relativistic jets of quasars and micro-quasars.
