3 Extragalactic jets proper motion Velocity of extragalactic jets Proper motion of jet knots: Example 1: M87 inner knots by HST: > v ~ 6c apparent superluminal motion (Biretta et al. 1999) Note: optical resolution sufficient for nearest extragalactic jet source (16 Mpc), > other sources: radio interferometry
4 Extragalactic jets proper motion Velocity of extragalactic jets Example : Blazars & Quasars: jets pointing towards the observer; high variability, strong beaming 3C 345: ~7c (period 5 yrs) : Lorentz factor ~0 > highest resolution with VLBA radio interferometry
5 Galactic relativistic jets Velocity in micro quasars : Galactic sources of relativistic velocity > detected in radio emission: ejection superluminal knots (Mirabel & Rodriguez 1994) > jet sources: (# ~ 0) Galactic high energy sources : High Mass X ray Binaries > model: similar to AGN/quasars: black hole (neuron star) + accretion disk > central mass < 10 Mo > laboratory for AGN processes: > time scale reduced for physical processes (Kepler, free fall, instabil.) > accessible for observations: 4 MQ weeks < > 10 AGN years GRS propagation: jet 17.6 mas/d c jet 9.0 mas/d distance: 1 kpc velocities: v = 0.9 c vj,app = 1.5 c vcj,app = 0.65 c inclination: 70 deg source mass: MBH = 14 Mo ( Fender 1999, Greiner et al. 00)
6 Extragalactic jets propagation Source, t=0 Apparent superluminal motion: For relativic motion = v/c towards observer: Source, t= t time t = t when nd signal emitted -> arrival of 1st signal: t 1=D /c -> projected path of source: _ _ to l.o.s. to l.o.s. Distance -> time t = 0 when 1st signal emitted d = t sin( d' = t cos( -> arrival of nd signal: D d ' D t = t = t t cos c c Observer

8 Extragalactic jets propagation Apparent superluminal motion: Apparent velocity _ _ to l.o.s.: For fixed v/c : Then: d app =0 d with = app and 1 1 Superluminal motion app,max 1 possible if 1/ app = d sin = t t 1 1 cos is maximal for cos max = app,max =
9 Extragalactic jets radiation Doppler shift: consider radiation source moving with ~1, inclination > time lapse (dilatation) between co moving frame ( ) and observer's frame ( '): 1 1 ' = = = t t ' > since v~c > difference in photon arrival times: > radiation source has traveled: > earlier arrival times of photons: > observed frequency: s=v t cos t arr = t 1 cos 1 ' obs = = t arr 1 cos > relativistic Doppler factor: D 1 1 cos > note relativistic > strong function of aspect angle
10 Extragalactic jets radiation Doppler shift: > relativistic Doppler factor: D 1 1 cos
11 Extragalactic jets radiation Doppler boosting/beaming: > one can show that a concerved quantity under Lorentz transformation is: phase space density of photons I 3 > with Doppler factor =D ' = I ' ' ' 3 ( observer's frame un primed ) > intensity boost: I =D 3 I ' ' ' > Doppler boosting of flux: 3 > in case of isotropic flux from sphere: S =D S ' ' note that S = I d with solid angle =D ' > numbers: = 0.97, ~ 4 > D3 ~ 1000 > similar for power law spectrum : S =D 3 S ' ' > in general: S =D p S ' ' with p=3 for sphere, p= for continuous jet > in case of synchrotron radio spectrum: S ~, 0.3 1
12 Extragalactic jets radiation Doppler boosting/beaming: > Beaming of radiation: > radiation isotropically emitted in co moving frame into region ( /, + /), half opening angle ' = / > relativistic aberation ' > : tan = sin ' cos ' (coordinate transformation for angles) > decrease in opening angle: 1 tan = 1 > for >> 1 :
13 Extragalactic jets radiation Doppler boosting: > application: appearance of intrinsically symmetric jets for l. o. s. viewing angle > boosting of approaching jet, de boosting of receding counter jet > flux ratio S 1 1 cos n n = = app D ; S 1 cos n=, 3,...
14 Extragalactic jets radiation Doppler boosting: > application: appearance of intrinsically symmetric jets for l. o. s. viewing angle > boosting of approaching jet, de boosting of receding counter jet > flux ratio S 1 1 cos n n = = app D ; S 1 cos n=, 3,... > example: radio = 0.5, jet n=+, >> 1/ >> 1 > S1 / S ~ (/ )5 > factor 1000 for = 30 > counter jets very diffcult to observe ( of course not applicable for protostellar jets with = 1 ) > one sided AGN jets ( core dominated sources ) one sided AGN jets on kpc in spite of two lobes observed The cause of one sidedness in... jets of otherwise symmetrical... radio sources is a subject of... controversy. During a study... polarization properties of powerful radio sources, it became clear that in... sources with one sided jets, depolarization with increasing wavelength is... weaker for the lobe containing the jet. One... interpretation is... depolarization is caused by differential Faraday rotation through... magnetoionic medium surrounding... source. The side with... stronger jet closer to us, is seen through a smaller amount of material and therefore shows less depolarization. Laing, Nature 331, 1988 However: > strong & rapid variability in light curves due to changes in beaming geometry (?)
15 Extragalactic jets variability Jet of 3C79 time series : ejection of knots from core correlated with luminosity flares > knots in radio > flares in IR, X > knot velocity ~ 4c

Apparent jet velocity 5c (Lindfors et al. 006)
17 Standard model of jet formation MHD model of jet formation: > jets are collimated disk/stellar winds, launched, accelerated, collimated by electro magnetic forces > 5 basic questions of jet theory: collimation & acceleration of a disk/ stellar wind into a jet? ejection of disk/stellar material into wind? accretion disk structure? generation of magnetic field? jet propagation / interaction with ambient medium Nssss

21 Extragalactic jets black holes BH definition: > solution to general relativistic field equations with asymptoically flat space time and horizon > horizon separates visible and invisble events; encloses singularity (of classical physics) > hypothesis of cosmic censorship : singularity will always be hidden (Penrose 1969); not finally settled (quantum gravity...) BH parameters: > no hair theorem (Wheeler): BH characterised solely by three parameters: > mass M, angular momentum a = J/Mc, charge Q > radius of horizon ( convention G = c = 1 ): r H = M M a > Schwarzschild radius (a=0): rs = M > gravitational radius (a=1): rg = M
22 Extragalactic jets black holes BH metric: > metric often described by Boyer Lindquist coordinates (singular at horizon): ds = c dt r d dt / dr d r a cos r G M r / c a r a a sin r / sin > frame dragging : angular velocity of space: r, a G M r / c > ZeroAngularMomentumObserver angular velocity, = ( d / dt )ZAMO > red shift, lapse function : gravitational time lapse: r, > time lapse of ZAMO proper time < > global time t, = ( d / dt )ZAMO ) > Kerr Schild coordinates avoid horizon singularity > applied in numerical simulations > Reissner Nordstroem metric for non rotating, charged BH > Kerr Newman metric for rotating, charged BH

25 Extragalactic jets black holes Ergosphere of rotating BH: > Kerr metric > stationary observer, fixed (r, ), angular velocity = d / dt > normalization of 4 velocity: u j u j = 1 > constraint on rotation law: min max > implying static limit for rotating BH: (from Soshichi Uchii) r r E = M M a cos > observer is enforced to rotate, min > close to the horizon: r r h : min = max h= a r h a, BH angular velocity

28 Extragalactic jets black holes Energy extraction from rotating BH: > Blandford Znajek mechanism (1973): electromagnetic coupling to BH > 4 thought experiments, involving membrane paradigm c) Schwarzschild BH, constant magnetic field, connected to battery (battery emf is V ) > electric current I = V / RH across B > Lorentz force ~ j x B > torque ~ I B spins up BH d) Inverse case: rotating BH, constant B (from Blandford 1990) > BH is conductor > unipolar induction ( E ~ v x B ) causes potential difference V h M B h from pole to equator with magnetic flux across the BH > if electric current is able to flow from pole to equator externally > dissipation, work on external gas > energy extraction from BH spin

30 Extragalactic jets black holes Energy extraction from rotating BH: Simulations of BZ: (taken from Komissarov 008) Koide et al. (1999): BL coordinates, thin disk, short run, transient ejection from the disk (?) Komissarov (001): BL coordinates; wind from disc; outflow in magnetically dominated funnel (BZ process?) McKinney&Gammie (004), McKinney (005): KS coordinates, outflow in magnetically dominated funnel > clear indications of the BZ process Hirose et al. ( ): BL coordinates; outflow in funnel (BZ process?), but Punsly (006): MHD Penrose process or computational errors? dissipative layer horizon ergosphere Field lines entering the ergosphere are set in rotation. Dissipative layer in equatorial plane acts as energy source. (emits negative energy photons that fall into BH) > Energy is extracted from the space between the horizon and the ergosphere!
