Relativistic Jets

Relativistic Jets is a high-energy astrophysical phenomenon consisting of collimated streams of ionized matter accelerated to relativistic speeds along the polar axes of compact objects, typically powered by accretion processes in black hole or neutron star systems within extragalactic X-ray and gamma-ray sources.
