Black Hole Gravitohydromagnetics

More about the book

Exploring the intricate interactions of plasma near rapidly rotating black holes, this book delves into gravitohydromagnetics (GHM), a field that merges gravity and strong magnetic fields. It addresses the astrophysical challenges of understanding the engines behind radio loud extragalactic sources. The theory illustrates a dynamic "torsional tug of war" between ergospheric plasma and distant plasma, leading to the generation of powerful magnetized particle jets ejected at nearly light speed, showcasing the complex interplay of electromagnetic and gravitational forces.
