Black-hole ejecta by frame-dragging along the axis of rotation
Maurice H. P. M. van Putten
An energy is derived for gravitational spin-orbit coupling by frame-dragging acting on angular momentum . This interaction defines a no-boundary mechanism for linear…
A Magnetic Bomb Scenario for Relativistic Jet Events in the Microquasar GRS 1915+105
Stephen S. Eikenberry, Maurice H. H. M. van Putten
We present a magnetic bomb scenario for the multiwavelength behavior during "Type B" relativistic jet events in the microquasar GRS 1915+105. These events are characterized by a ha…
Gravitational waves from gamma-ray bursts
Maurice H. P. M. van Putten
We present a mechanism for long bursts of gravitational radiation from Kerr black holes surrounded by a torus. These systems are believed to form in core-collapse of massive stars…
Baryon-poor outflows from rotating black holes
Maurice H. P. M. van Putten
Cosmological gamma-ray bursts are probably powered by systems harboring a rotating black hole. We show that frame-dragging creates baryon-poor outflows in a differentially rotating…
Knots in Magnetized Relativistic Jets and Their Simulations
Maurice H. P. M. van Putten
Bright features (`knots') in extragalactic jets are commonly associated with reheating of charged particles in regions with shocks or strong compression. We find a natural appearan…
