VIDEO: Collisionless Plasma Jet Launching (VIDEO)

DOE/Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory

Caption

VIDEO: This simulation shows a rotating black hole (bottom) and a collisionless plasma jet (top). The simulation shows the densities of electrons and positrons, and magnetic field lines. The black hole's "ergosurface," inside of which all particles must rotate in the same direction as the hole, is shown in green.
