We investigate this phenomenon by drawing analogies with the triggering of coronal mass ejections from the Sun. We envisage a plasmoid as a current carrying flux rope and consider its ejection due to an MHD mechanism called the toroidal instability. We model the velocity and acceleration profiles of the plasma blobs with our model and compare them with observations of well known sources such as 3C120 and some galactic microquasars. |
