- Description
- Based on recently reported results, we present arguments that sign changes in proper acceleration of test particles on the symmetry axis and close to the horizon of quasi-spherical objects - related to the quadrupole moment of the source - might be at the origin of relativistic jets of quasars and micro-quasars.
