Jet deflections in radio galaxies
Convincing evidence for the interaction between jets and their environments has been found inmany extragalactic radio sources. In some radio galaxies these interactions appear to cause the jet to be deflected, not completely stopped or disrupted. This paper presents a simple model which accounts for jet deflections with oblique shocks in a relativistic flow. Using the model in conjunction with ...
متن کاملJet-dominated advective systems: radio and X-ray luminosity dependence on the accretion rate
We present a novel method to measure the accretion rate of radio emitting X-ray binaries (XRBs) and active galactic nuclei (AGN) independently of the X-ray luminosity. The radio emission of the jet is used as a tracer for the accretion rate and is normalised using sources of known accretion rates: island state neutron stars and efficiently radiating black holes close to a state transition. We s...
متن کاملSuperdisks in Radio Galaxies: Jet–Wind Interactions
Taking a clue from their sharp-edged (strip-like) morphology observed in several cases, a new mechanism is proposed for the formation of the emission gaps seen between the radio lobes of many powerful extragalactic double radio sources. Canonical understanding of the radio gaps invokes either blocking of the back-flowing lobe plasma by the denser interstellar medium (ISM) of the host galaxy, or...
متن کاملOn the scaling relations of disk galaxies
The physical background of scaling laws of disk galaxies is reviewed. The match between analytically derived and observed scaling laws is briefly discussed. Accurate modeling of the fraction of baryons that end up populating a disk, and the conversion efficiency of those into stars, remains a challenging task for numerical simulations. The measurement of rotational velocity tends to be made wit...
متن کاملThe Fundamental Scaling Relations of Elliptical Galaxies
We examine the fundamental scaling relations of elliptical galaxies formed through mergers. Using hundreds of simulations to judge the impact of progenitor galaxy properties on the properties of merger remnants, we find that gas dissipation provides an important contribution to tilt in the Fundamental Plane relation. Dissipationless mergers of disks produce remnants that occupy a plane similar ...
