Unifying Black Hole Jets Across the Mass Scale with Fermi and Swift

In this talk, I will show that jets produced by active galactic nuclei (AGN) and gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) exhibit the same correlation between the kinetic power carried by accelerated particles and the gamma-ray luminosity, with AGN and GRBs lying at the low- and high-luminosity ends, respectively, of the correlation. This result implies that the efficiency of energy dissipation in jets produced in black hole systems is similar over 10 orders of magnitude in jet power, establishing a physical analogy between AGN and GRBs.
