Physics of Pair-producing Gaps in Black Hole Magnetospheres: Two-dimensional General Relativistic Particle-in-cell Simulations
Black holes can launch powerful jets through the Blandford–Znajek process. This relies on enough plasma in the jet funnel to conduct the necessary current. However, in some low-luminosity active galactic nuclei, the plasma supply near the jet base may be an issue. It has been proposed that spark gap...
