| Description: Focusing Jets by Magnetic Fields The hot, ionized accretion disk (red-yellow) around the black hole rotates and creates a magnetic field that is twisted into spring-shaped spirals above and below the disk. Some of the accretion disk’s gas falling toward the black hole is overheated and squirted at high speeds into the two tubes created by the magnetic fields. The fields keep the gas traveling directly outward from above and below the disk, thus creating the two jets.
