I am curious about the orientation of the polar jets. Are there any working hypotheses about whether gamma jets orient in relation to other objects, such as galactic center supermassive black holes?

Since there is no ‘up’ or ‘down’ in space, the alignment is purely random. The ‘axis’ is simply from whatever point of space you view it...............

Good question. It’s likely that gamma jets point in random directions, but it’s been reported recently that planetary nebula have a preferred alignment.
