The Physics of E x B-Drifting Jets

Astrophysics 2009-11-10 v2

Abstract

It is argued that the physical jets consist of monoenergetic pairplasma performing almost lossfree ExB-drift. The observed broad power-law spectra result on collision with obstacles, via post-acceleration by the (huge) convected Poynting flux.
