Jet launching In GRBs we have 2 possibilities: - internal pressure: the huge optical depth traps photons inside - magnetic field In blazars: - internal pressure: the optical depth is small - magnetic field

Jet launching In GRBs we have 2 possibilities: - internal pressure: the huge optical depth traps photons inside - magnetic field In blazars: - internal pressure: the optical depth is small - magnetic field Magnetic field: - Produced and amplified by the disk - Link with accretion

Blazars: the redder the more powerful cooling GRBs: the bluer the more powerful heating?? ? “Amati” “Ghirlanda” E peak [keV] E [erg]

Conclusions Jets are the most efficient engine of Nature Compare jet power and L disk as a function of the accretion rate. Normalize to Eddington.

The jet cannot have less power than what required to produce the observed luminosity: P jet L obs 2222 > If P jet is twice as much, halves. We can take that as the minimum P jet. This limit is model-independent.

1 proton per electron no pairs Having pairs would reduce P jet. But where are they created?

What is a blazar? A jetted AGN, whose jet is relativistic ( ~10) and is “pointing at us”. A jetted AGN, whose jet is relativistic ( ~10) and is “pointing at us”.
