Sitnikov problem as a source of jets

Abstract

Sitnikov problem, consisting two close binaries and a third small body is considered, leading to a rapid ejection of the small body from the binaries. This mechanism is proposed as an explanation of jets in many astrophysical systems. Choosing appropriate initial condition relativistic final velocities can be achieved.
