We propose a two-component jet model consistent with the observations of
several gamma ray bursts (GRBs) and active galactic nuclei (AGNs). The jet
consists of inner and outer components, and they are supposed to be driven by
the Blandford-Znajek (BZ) and Blandford-Payne (BP) processes, respectively. The
baryons in the BP jet is accelerated centrifugally via the magnetic field
anchored in the accretion disk. The BZ jet is assumed to be entrained a
fraction of accreting matter leaving the inner edge of the accretion disk, and
the baryons are accelerated in the conversion from electromagnetic energy to
the kinetic energy. By fitting the Lorentz factors of some GRBs (GRB 030329,
GRB 051221A, GRB 080413B) and AGNs (Cen A, Mkn 501 and Mkn 421) with this
model, we constrain the physical parameters related to the accretion and
outflow of these two kind of objects. We conclude that the spine/sheath
structure of the jet from these sources can be interpreted naturally by the BZ
and BP processes.
