3 Introduction: Jets are found in AGNs & microquasars. Since black holes don t have intrinsic atmosphere, so jets have to originate from accretion disc. Figure: Artistic picture of accretion disc and jets. Rajiv Kumar (ARIES, Nainital) Accretion-Ejection around black holes January 21, / 17

4 General Relativistic Fluid Equations Geometrical unit: G = M = c = 1. Metric used: ds 2 = g ttdt 2 + 2g tφ dtdφ + g rrdr 2 + g φφ dφ 2 + g θθ dθ 2. where, g tt = (1 2r/Σ), g tφ = 2arsin 2 θ/σ, g rr = Σ/, g φφ = Asin 2 θ/σ and g θθ = Σ. = r 2 2r + a 2, A = (r 2 + a 2 ) 2 a 2 sin 2 θ, Σ = r 2 + a 2 cos 2 θ. The governing equations of the relativistic fluid is, T δβ ;β = 0, (ρuβ ) ;β = 0, where T δβ = (e + p)u δ u β + pg δβ }{{} +tδβ viscous stress tensor shear tensor(σ δβ ) Ideal fluid part Projecting it onto a spatial coordinate gives R. Navier-Stokes eqn. If along the 4-velocity gives us first law of thermodynamics. The general form of viscous shear tensor: σ δβ = 1 2 (u δ;β + u β;δ + a δ u β + a β u δ ) 1 3 Θ exph δβ, where, a δ 4-acceleration, u β;γ co-variant derivative of 4-velocity, Θ exp = u γ ;γ expansion of fluid world line, h δβ projection tensor. Rajiv Kumar (ARIES, Nainital) Accretion-Ejection around black holes January 21, / 17

5 General Relativistic Fluid Equations We assumed r φ component of viscous stress tensor is dominant and disc is in steady state, axis-symmetric and in vertical hydrostatic equilibrium. The accretion equations are Energy generation equation, u δ T δβ ;β = 0 [( ) ] uδ e+p n n,δ e,δ = Q +, (1) where, Q + = t δβ σ δβ is the heating term and for the time being we are ignoring cooling term. The radial component of relativistic Navier-Stokes equation, du u r r dr + γ2 v A r 4 + A r 2 [ A r 4 r2 a2 (r A r 2 )]u φ u φ 2a r 2 [ A r 3 + ]u t u φ 2a r 3 ut u φ + γ2 v dp = 0, (2) e+p dr the integrated version of the azimuthal component equation (h φ δ T δβ ;β = 0), ρu r (L L 0 ) = 2µσφ r, where, µ = ρν, ν = αarfc, fc = (1 v2 ) 2, (3) Now, integral form of mass-conservation equation, Ṁ = 4πρHur r. (4) H = 2Θr 3, where γ φ is angular Lorentz factor. tγ 2 φ Integrating equations (1-4) and re-arranging, we get E = hγvr /A exp(x f ), X f = [( A r 4 r2 A (r a2 r 2 )) l2 (1 ωλ) r 2 γ 2 v + ur g φφ (L L 0) 2 2νhg rr ]dr, (5) E is constant of motion in presence of viscous dissipation and is called as general relativistic Bernoulli parameter. If α = 0, exp(x f ) = (1 ωλ)/γ φ, E = hu t, where, ω = g tφ g φφ. Rajiv Kumar (ARIES, Nainital) Accretion-Ejection around black holes January 21, / 17

6 Relativistic Equation of State (EoS) The relativistic EoS for multispecies flow is (Chattopadhyay, 2008 and Chattopadhyay & Ryu, 2009), e = n e m e c 2 f = ρ e c 2 ρc f = 2 f, (6) [2 ξ(1 1/η)] where, f = (2 ξ) ˆ1 + Θ ` h i 9Θ+3 3Θ+2 + ξ 1 + Θ 9Θ+3/η. η 3Θ+2/η This is relativistic equation of state for multispecies gas flow. It is an approximation but is very accurate to the actual EoS for relativistic Maxwell-Boltzmann gas (see Chandrasekhar 1939 and Ryu et al. 2006). Here, adiabatic index is defined as Γ = 1 + 1/N, where, N = (1/2)df /dθ is polytropic index. Θ = kt/(m e c 2 ) is non-dimensional temperature, ξ = n p +/n e and η = m e /m p +. we have integrated first law of thermodynamics with equation (6) for adiabatic gas, we obtained (Kumar et al. 2013), ρ = K exp(k 3) Θ 3/2 (3Θ + 2) k 1 (3Θ + 2/η) k 2 where, k 1 = 3(2 ξ)/4, k 2 = 3ξ/4, and k 3 = (f t)/(2θ). This is the Relativistic adiabatic equation of state for multispecies flows, where K is constant of entropy. This eqn is analogous to Newtonian adiabatic EoS, p = Kρ Γ. Rajiv Kumar (ARIES, Nainital) Accretion-Ejection around black holes January 21, / 17

7 Jet equations We assumed rotating and inviscid outflow from the disc.the eqn of stream-line or von-zeipel parameter is defined as (Abramowicz 1974, Chakrabarti 1985), «1/2 ϑφ Z = ϑ φ = g! φφ + g tφ /ϑ φ 1/2 g tt + ϑ φ, ϑ φ = u φ, ϑ φ = uφ g tφ u t u t. (7) It was proposed that the angular momentum of jets would be related to the von Zeipel parameter, ϑ φ = c φ Z n, (8) where, c φ and n are some constant parameters. Constant of motion of the jet R j = h j u tj [1 c 2 φ Z(2n 2) ] β, (9) Figure: von Zeipel surfaces. q q where, u tj = (1 2/r j ) 1/2 γ j, γ j = γ vj γ φj, γ vj = 1/ (1 vj 2), γ φj = 1/ (1 cφ 2Z(2n 2) ), v j = γ φ v p and β = n/(2n 2). where, all the symbols have usual means but subscript j represents flow variable for jet.

8 Calculation of critical point In order to find the accretion solutions, so, we have to find critical point by solving (dv/dr = f (N)/f (D) = 0/0 = ) critical point conditions. Let us look into two properties. 1- Matter velocity on the horizon is free fall velocity i.e., v h = p 2/r s. Asymptotically close to horizon i.e. r 2 (Spin, a s = 0), we assumed v in = δ p 2/r in, where, δ < Since viscous stress tensor becomes negligible very close to the horizon, so, we assumed at very close to the horizon E = E = hu t, then the equation (5) must satisfy the relation, γ φ exp(x f ) = 1. This condition written as quadratic in L 0. Which is b 2L b 1L 0 + b 0 = 0, Now, we have v in, Θ in, L in at r in = and L 0 or λ 0 at horizon by using four flow parameters, E, ξ, α and λ in, so we can integrate equations (1-3) simultaneously outward from r in.

16 Conclusions Pure relativistic accretion solutions are nicely satisfying the GR inner boundary condition. Which we don t see in pseudo-potential because it blows up very close to the horizon. We have investigated self-consistently jet solutions from shock accretion solutions and also estimated mass outflow rate. We have found MCP and therefore, the shocks in the jet. According to Nakayama (1992) paper, in case of wind flows, the inner shock is stable and the outer one may be unstable. If these shocks are unstable then they can generate QPOs and variability in the jets as observed in the Blazars. GR accretion-jet solutions some features are qualitatively same as in pnp but quantitatively they differ. The real difference appears close to the horizon, where radiative properties around the horizon will be different in GR than in pnp.
