The Phoenix Fire Model for Jet Creation: The Role of Magnetic Fields in the Production and Propagation of Relativistic Jets

Using recent observational and theoretical results, I outline the latest ideas on how relativistic jets are produced by rotating magnetic fields, along with the physical processes that result in the FR I/II dichotomy. Simply put, at the end of the acceleration and collimation phase the now super-mag...
