AGN feedback by relativistic jets
Feedback provided by relativistic jets may be effective in shaping the galaxy luminosity function. The quenching mode (quasar mode) at redshifts ∼2-3 potentially disperses gas in star-forming galaxies. The maintenance mode (radio mode) heats the gas in galaxy clusters counteracting cooling flows. A number of authors have examined the effect of relativistic jets in dispersing clouds in the kpc-s...
متن کاملSuperluminal Motion and Relativistic Beaming in Blazar Jets
High resolution radio observations remain the most direct way to study the formation and evolution of radio jets associated with the accretion onto massive black holes. We report preliminary results of our seven year VLBA observational program to understand the nature of relativistic beaming in blazars and the surrounding environment of massive black holes. Most blazars show an apparent outward...
متن کاملRelativistic beaming and the intrinsic properties of extragalactic radio jets
Relations between the observed quantities for a beamed radio jet, apparent transverse speed and apparent luminosity (βapp,L), and the intrinsic quantities, Lorentz factor and intrinsic luminosity (γ,Lo), are investigated. The inversion from measured to intrinsic values is not unique, but approximate limits to γ and Lo can be found using probability arguments. Roughly half the sources in a flux ...
متن کاملMagnetic acceleration of ultra-relativistic GRB and AGN jets
We present numerical simulations of cold, axisymmetric, magnetically driven relativistic outflows. The outflows are initially sub-Alfvénic and Poynting flux-dominated, with total–to–rest-mass energy flux ratio up to μ ∼ 620. To study the magnetic acceleration of jets we simulate flows confined within a funnel with rigid wall of prescribed shape, which we take to be z ∝ r (in cylindrical coordin...
متن کاملPolarization and structure of relativistic parsec-scale AGN jets
We consider the polarization properties of optically thin synchrotron radiation emitted by relativistically moving electron–positron jets carrying large-scale helical magnetic fields. In our model, the jet is cylindrical, and the emitting plasma moves parallel to the jet axis with a characteristic Lorentz factor Γ. We draw attention to the strong influence that the bulk relativistic motion of t...
