Abstract
An explanation of the mechanism of generation and acceleration of jets in
outer space is given on the basis of experiments in the physics of electrical
discharge. The presence of two arms in the spiral Galaxy gives grounds to assume
that they have excess charges of the opposite sign. At the moment when
the electric field strength between the tips of the arms becomes sufficient, an
electrical breakdown occurs, which is accompanied by the movement of the
current-plasma leader in the jumper between the tips of the arms. In the head
part of the leader there is a flat electric domain of a strong field, which, during
its inception, emits intense transverse electromagnetic waves in a direction
perpendicular to the direction of the leader’s motion and to the plane of the
accretion disk. The electric domain periodically appears and collapses due
to the entry of neutral particles. Transverse electromagnetic waves capture
charged particles from the discharge region and accelerate them in the direction
of wave propagation. The crossed fields of an electromagnetic wave perform
the functions of a multistage accelerator. The acceleration of the particles
of the plasma produced in the discharge to relativistic energy values in the region
of narrow vortex jets occurs under the action of forces caused by the
components of the electromagnetic wave fields and the pressure gradient. The
charged particles of a vortex jet acquire a significant rotational moment under
the action of the Lorentz force. Explanations of the generation of microwave,
bremsstrahlung and optical radiation from the region of the jumper between
the arms of the Galaxy in the absence of electrical breakdown are also given.Опубликовано
