This is a brief review of the recent developments in the theory of magnetic acceleration of relativistic jets. We attempt to explain the key results of this complex theory using basic physical arguments and simple calculations. The main focus is on the standard model, which describes steady-state axisymmetric ideal MHD flows. We argue that this model is over-restrictive and discuss various alternatives.

  1. The role of dissipation distance on reconnection-driven multi-messenger signals from blazar jets

    astro-ph.HE 2025-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    In blazars, the location where magnetic reconnection dissipates jet energy determines the observed spectrum and neutrino output, bridging BL Lacs and FSRQs in a single model.
