Abstract

The research on black hole jets started way back in the 1970s. From the first hypotheses that question the center of a galaxy, to nowadays’ detailed structure of active galactic nuclei, the research on black hole jets has progressed immensely. This study is dedicated to summarizing all aspects of black hole jet research. This includes its research history, background information, theorems, properties, simulations, possible future research, and limitations on current research. Various papers are cited, including ones published as early as the 1980s, and current ones, to give a full view of black hole jet research. Original work has been done in order to create a timeline for the evolution of black hole jet research. Black hole jet research is crucial in understanding mechanisms behind black holes, which embody the active galactic nuclei. Speculations on galactic formation and evolution processes could be done by fully understanding the active galactic nuclei.
