#AthenaNuggets: Accretion and Ejection Around Black Holes: the Disc-Jet Connection, by Chris Done

In the #AthenaNuggets 18, Chris Done talks us about ultra-relativistic jets in stellar and supermassive black holes. A 3D animation of the disc-jet connection in a supermassive black hole was created by ESO and M. Kornmesser and is available at the following link.

How these jets are launched and accelerated remains one of the biggest unsolved issues in astrophysics. Using Athena, operating in synergy with facilities in other wavebands, astronomers will be able to solve this issue.
