Journal ArticleDOI
Blood out of a stone
TL;DR: In his Perspective, Blandford discusses how the black hole may generate the jets, and highlights the report by Koide et al., who have simulated one mechanism for supplying the jets with energy via a magnetic connection to the gas just outside the black Hole's event horizon.
Book ChapterDOI
On the Formation of Jets
Annalisa Celotti,Roger Blandford +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the phenomenology of jets associated with a variety of black hole systems is summarized, emphasizing the constraints imposed on their origin, and models of jet formation are reviewed, focusing in particular on recent ideas concerning MHD models.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Future of Black Hole Astrophysics in the LIGO-VIRGO-LPF Era
Roger Blandford,Richard Anantua +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, it is assumed that these jets are powered by the electromagnetic extraction of the spin energy of their associated black holes, which are described by the Kerr metric, and that they become simpler and more electromagnetically dominated as the event horizon is approached.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nomads of the Galaxy
TL;DR: In this article, the authors estimate that there may be up to 10^5 compact objects in the mass range 10-8} -10^{-2} solar mass per main sequence star that are unbound to a host star in the Galaxy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cosmic Ray Origin – Beyond the Standard Models
Omar Tibolla,Roger Blandford +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors argue that the standard model, in which the majority of Galactic cosmic rays are produced through Diffusive Shock Acceleration (DSA) in SuperNova Remnants (SNR), is insufficient to account for recent observations.
