Formation and Ejection of Helical Plasma Structures from Gravitational Wave Emitters

Abstract

Helical plasma structures have been identified and shown to form in and propagate from the high density plasmas in which Black Hole binaries can be imbedded. These structures are envisioned to extend to very low density and distant plasma regions up to where they can be disrupted by encountering plasma patches where the waves, of which the structures are composed, become dissipated. By now experimental observations and analyses of the morphology of jets have found that they can involve double-helix magnetic topologies in one case and, more recently, a single helix in other cases. Thus, plasma structures originating in the plasmas surrounding binary systems are proposed, instead of particle beams emitted by black holes directly, as a possible explanation of the origin of the highly collimated jets associated with a variety of celestial objects that are currently observed. Theoretically, double-helix structures are found to emerge as non-linearly coupled torsional ion-sound waves which, in the presence of a background magnetic field, in both the formation and terminal plasmas generate helical magnetic field configurations while remaining nearly “electrostatic” in regions where no significant background magnetic field is present. These (helical) structures can propagate independently in either of the two vertical directions. The coupling involves Intrinsic Gravitational Modes originating in the circumbinary disk and Inner Gravitational Fluctuations emerging from the Swept (Toroidal) Regions carved, within the highest density plasma region, by one or both Black Holes.
