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.
Minkel: So, the
jets that you said were sort of a generic feature coming
out of, I think, you said proto - planetary disks and as well as around black holes — so, what's the mystery with those, are they, especially

powerful because most of their energy is being beamed
out of bi-polar

out in
