Relativistic jets of blazars

T Hovatta, E Lindfors - New Astronomy Reviews, 2019 - Elsevier
Relativistic jets of active galactic nuclei have been known to exist for 100 years. Blazars with
their jet pointing close to our line of sight are some of the most variable and extreme objects …

Dynamically important magnetic fields near accreting supermassive black holes

M Zamaninasab, E Clausen-Brown, T Savolainen… - Nature, 2014 - nature.com
Accreting supermassive black holes at the centres of active galaxies often produce 'jets'—
collimated bipolar outflows of relativistic particles. Magnetic fields probably play a critical …
