General relativistic simulations of jet formation in Kerr black hole magnetosphere
We report a two-dimensional numerical result of jet formation driven by magnetic field due to a current loop near a rapidly rotating black hole. It shows that the magnetic flux tube bridging the region between the ergosphere and the disk around the black hole is twisted rapidly due to the frame-dragging effect and expands explosively to form a jet.
