ENERGY EXTRACTION FROM BLACK HOLES

ENERGY EXTRACTION FROM BLACK HOLES

In this lecture I give an introduction to the rotational energy extraction of black holes by the electromagnetic Blandfordā€Znajek process and the generation of relativistic jets. After some basic material on the electrodynamics of black hole magnetospheres, we derive the most important results of Blandford and Znajek by making use ā€¦
