Description

Jets from Stars and Galactic Nuclei : Proceedings of a Workshop Held at Bad H.... Jets from Stars and Galactic Nuclei : Proceedings of a Workshop Held at Bad Honnef, Germany, 3–7 July 1995, Paperback by Kundt, Wolfgang (EDT), ISBN 3662140748, ISBN-13 9783662140741, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US Jets are ubiquitous in the Universe, but ill-understood. Conservativs base their interpretations on focused stellar winds, ejected "bullets", black-hole central engines, and in-situ upgrading of electron energies via shocks. This volume, however, attempts a uniform interpretation of the bipolar-flow family, involving extremely relativistic pair plasma as the jet substance, and rotating magnets (possibly burning disks) as the central engines. Among the discussed sources are SS 433, YSO jets, planetary nebulae, our galactic center, and the class of extragalactic QSOs, both radio-loud and radio-quiet.
