No, not really. The asymmetry would have to be immense.cph said:Might asymmetry of jets for BH, together with Newton’s Third Law, result in high velocity over time, from an ion engine?
You can't reach those velocites from such a mechanism. To unbind the BH, the partner's supernova would have to eject at least half the mass of the system. You might be able to reach ~ 100 km/s with a strong kick, and high mass ejection.Nik_2213 said:IIRC, if a close binary partner goes supernova, the other partner may be flung off at speeds up to ~ 700 kilometres per second.
A jet propelled black hole is a type of black hole that emits powerful jets of particles at near the speed of light. These jets are believed to originate from the accretion disk surrounding the black hole, where matter is heated and accelerated before being ejected in the form of jets.
Jet propelled black holes are formed from the collapse of a massive star. As the star runs out of fuel, it can no longer support its own weight and collapses under its own gravity. This results in a singularity, a point of infinite density, surrounded by an event horizon, the boundary beyond which nothing, including light, can escape.
The jets in jet propelled black holes are produced through a process called magnetic reconnection. As matter falls into the black hole, its magnetic field becomes twisted and entangled. When this happens, the magnetic field can suddenly snap and release a tremendous amount of energy, which propels the jets outward.
Studying jet propelled black holes can help us understand the extreme conditions that exist near black holes, such as intense gravity, high temperatures, and strong magnetic fields. It can also provide insights into the formation and evolution of galaxies, as black hole jets can influence the growth of surrounding structures.
No, jet propelled black holes do not pose a threat to Earth. They are located in distant regions of the universe and are too far away to affect us. Additionally, their jets are highly collimated, meaning they are focused in a narrow beam, and would not pose a danger even if they were closer to us.
