| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We performed a unique study on the estimate of spatial distribution of electrons in the jet by using the high-resolution radio images. We performed general relativistic plasma particle simulations, and found that the electron positron pair creation by the gap strong electric field cannot provide a sufficient amount of electrons in the jets. On the other hand, we showed that intermittent magnetic reconnection around the equatorial plane can provide a sufficient amount of electrons in the jets. This is a natural theoretical platform for the particle origin of jets, which is the research target of this project and a long-standing mystery in astrophysics. Furthermore, we joined the Event Horizon Telescope Collaboration to contribute to the theoretical interpretation of the M87 black hole shadow, which has been famous in society in April, 2019. We also studied on jet acceleration mechanism by turbulence and analytic formulation of black hole space-time evolution by jet.
