Angular size is shown for a black hole mass of 10 8 solar masses. The corona lies right next to the black hole and possibly at the base of a relativistic jet. The broad line region is thought to be located in outflowing gas launched by the accretion disk. So what’s a ravenous black hole got to do? Is there a way you can take a break from this magnetic arresting of your accretion disk? Perhaps today’s paper has some information about such a thing happening… Coming Out of My Magnetic Cage, and I’ve Been Doing Just Fine Figure 1: Schematic of an AGN in scales of Schwarzschild radius of the central black hole. And there comes a point where the flux becomes so strong that your incoming accretion stream gets disrupted, interfering with your nice dinnertime. You are dependent on absorbing the magnetic flux provided by outside plasma. But there is a catch: you don’t have any matter making you up, so you can’t generate magnetic fields on your own. They provide a way for you to do work on your surroundings, whether it’s through launching relativistic jets, plasma bullets, violent winds, or even, a rocket exhaust. If you’re an ambitious supermassive black hole looking to leave a mark on your host galaxy, having magnetic fields would be a good place to start.
