Density and Magnetic Field Evolution

Density and Magnetic Field Evolution

Here we look at the time evolution of the rest-mass density, magnetic field, and velocity flow. The rest-mass density is normalized to the maximum density at $t/M = 0$. The SMS collapses, forming a BH immersed in a disk of gas (Fig 1-3). After the formation of the BH, a shockwave is produced and pushes matter outwards from the disk (Fig 1-4). Shortly after, we see the helical magnetic field lines become collimated and tightly wound above the black hole poles. The field lines form a funnel which drives and confines the matter in the jet.
