Palestra: Open issues in the physics of relativistic jets

Prof. Gustavo Esteban Romero (Universidad Nacional de la Plata, Argentina)

Dia 30 de outubro de 2019, Auditório do Programa de Pós-graduação em Física, 3º andar, bloco F, sala 3144. 

Relativistic jets are collimated outflows from accreting compact objects. They emit radiation from radio to gamma rays and possibly neutrinos. Jets on different scales are launched by accreting binaries, quasars and other active galactic nuclei, as well as by transient sources such as gamma-ray bursts. The physics of these jets is still not well-understood. In this talk I will discuss some open issues relative to their formation and content, and I will offer some possible solutions to such problems.
