Abstract
The article focuses on research into the process by which astrophysical jets emitted from Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) are formed. It states that it is believed astrophysical jets require magnetized accreting plasma and a rotating black hole and suggests plasma embedded in a black hole's magnetic field could sometimes be considered a collection of non-linear strings, or flux tubes. It comments on the use of simulations to show the formation of collimated bubble-structured relativistic jets.
