Discovery of Helical Magnetic Fields in AGN, and CME and Ejection of Large-Scale Magnetic Fields from AGN
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 26 May 2016
Abstract
Magnetic Fields are the crucial and most important ingredient involved in the processes of various violent activities in Active Galactic Nuclei and other celestial bodies. The generally accepted 2-sided symmetric-jets model of active galactic nuclei (AGN) does not include the magnetic fields. We present here the first direct detection of helical magnetic field in AGN, and the first direct detection of ejection of large scale magnetic fields from AGN. (CME) 2. The annular (helical) magnetic field is responsible for the collimation of the jet (through Pinch Effect) and may be of crucial importance for extraction of black hole rotational energy. 3. The CMEs are responsible for sporadic ejection of jet components in AGN, while the general accepted 2-sided jets pertain to the quiescent Jets. 4. Observations show that the CME with Asymmetric Jets can explain many phenomena and much of the morphological diversities in AGN.
