Abstract:
Black holes generate collimated, relativistic jets, which have been
observed in γ-ray bursts (GRBs), microquasars, and at the center
of some galaxies [active galactic nuclei (AGN)]. How jet physics
scales from stellar black holes in GRBs to the supermassive ones in
AGN is still unknown. Here, we show that jets produced by AGN and GRBs
exhibit the same correlation between the kinetic power carried by
accelerated particles and the γ-ray luminosity, with AGN and GRBs
lying at the low- and high-luminosity ends, respectively, of the
correlation. This result implies that the efficiency of energy
dissipation in jets produced in black hole systems is similar over 10
orders of magnitude in jet power, establishing a physical analogy
between AGN and GRBs.
