What powers the most relativistic jets? – I. BL Lacs (2013)
Journal Article
Gardner, E., & Done, C. (2014). What powers the most relativistic jets? – I. BL Lacs. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 438(1), 779-788. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stt2246

The dramatic relativistic jets pointing directly at us in BL Lacertae (BL Lac) objects can be well modelled by bulk motion beaming of synchrotron self-Compton emission powered by a low Eddington fraction accretion flow. Nearly 500 of these active gal... Read More about What powers the most relativistic jets? – I. BL Lacs.
