Q&A: Black Holes
Q:
Are jets from Black Holes stranger than the super hot solar
atmosphere? How do cosmic winds interact with the fields from
forming Black Holes? Wouldn't they light up like dust over a
laser beam?
A:
The jets do interact with their surroundings. They push the gas
around, and are bent by collisions with the gas, and possibly
twisted by the rotation of the black hole and the space and
field around it. Also, if there is enough dust, the radiation
will be scattered by that dust.
