Jet magnetically accelerated from disk-corona around a rotating black hole    [PDF]

A jet acceleration model for extracting energy from disk-corona surrounding a rotating black hole is proposed. In the disk-corona scenario, we obtain the ratio of the power dissipated in the corona to the total for such disk-corona system by solving the disk dynamics equations. The analytical expression of the jet power is derived based on the electronic circuit theory of the magnetosphere. It is shown that jet power increases with the increasing black hole (BH) spin, and concentrates in the inner region of the disk-corona. In addition, we use a sample consisting of 37 radio loud quasars to explore their jet production mechanism, and show that our jet formation mechanism can simulate almost all sources with high power jet, that fail to be explained by the Blandford-Znajek (BZ) process.
