So these are not sort of small players, these are major parts of the energy budget of an accreting black hole and by extension, they have an important impact on their environment; and the jets associated with accreting black holes and nuclei galaxies inflate giant lobes of plasma outside the galaxy and these heat the surrounding gas, they affect the fuel supply, they stimulate star formation, they in fact stimulate galaxy formation.

Roger Blandford is the coauthor of the Blandford - Znajek Process, the leading explanation for how black holes produce jets of plasma traveling at near light speed, but what's plasma?

Even protostars — these are young stars that are just forming and making their own planetary disks and so on — they make very powerful outflows called, the same sort of jets obviously moving at slower speeds, but they are full of plasma, that is flowing out at high speed; white dwarfs, neutron stars, black holes big and small, they seem able to do this task, it really seems to be a very common phenomenon.

In their next study, the researchers will use combinations of different pulse discharge circuits and discharge energies to see how these factors impact the plasma jet length.

It requires not one but both electrodes to have a high voltage to obtain an apokamp plasma jet, which typically develops from the bending point of the discharge channel.

«These jets of plasma are ejected so fast that they could traverse the length of California in just a couple of minutes,» said De Pontieu.

Astronomers using the National Science Foundation's Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA) have discovered jets of plasma blasted from the cores of distant galaxies at speeds within one - tenth of one percent of the speed of light, placing these plasma jets among the fastest objects yet seen in the Universe.

By using a telescope orbiting above the Earth, an Australian scientist has been able to get ten times closer to the core of a powerful jet of plasma shooting out from a black hole.

They routinely create hot plasma jets and gas bubbles that are thought to prevent the cooling of galaxies and regulate the formation of stars, which requires cold hydrogen gas as a building block.

The jet originates in the disk of superheated gas swirling around this object and is propelled and concentrated by the intense, twisted magnetic fields trapped within this plasma.
