The launching condition of a jet driven by the magnetic field and radiation pressure of an accretion disc

Xinwu Cao

We find that the cold gas can be magnetically launched from the disc surface with the help of the radiation pressure if the angular velocity of the radiation pressure dominated acc…

A general relativistic model of accretion disks with coronae surrounding Kerr black holes

Bei You, Xinwu Cao, Ye-Fei Yuan

We calculate the structure of a standard accretion disk with corona surrounding a massive Kerr black hole in general relativistic frame, in which the corona is assumed to be heated…

What governs the bulk velocity of the jet components in active galactic nuclei?

Bo Chai, Xinwu Cao, Minfeng Gu

We use a sample of radio-loud active galactic nuclei (AGNs) with measured black hole masses to explore the jet formation mechanisms in these sources. Based on the Königl's inhomoge…

Constraints on jet formation mechanisms with the most energetic giant outbursts in MS 0735+7421

Shuang-Liang Li, Xinwu Cao

Giant X-ray cavities lie in some active galactic nuclei (AGNs) locating in central galaxies of clusters, most of these cavities are thought to be inflated by jets of AGNs. The jets…

The central engines of two unusual radio-intermediate/quiet active galactic nuclei: III Zw 2 and PG 1407+265

Liang Chen, Xinwu Cao, Jinming Bai

We use the accretion disk/corona+jet model to fit the multi-band spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of two unusual radio-intermediate/quiet quasars. It is found that the optical/…
