Meanings
-
A rotating black hole that extracts energy from its rotation and magnetic fields to emit a jet of particles and radiation.
The 'Blandford-Znajek' (BZ) black hole magnetospheric power extraction process was one of the first (1977) analytic attempts to define a general relativistic theory for axisymmetric, stationary, ideal-MHD, BH magnetospheres.
