Jets in Quasars
In my review of jet phenomena in quasars, I focus on the following questions: How powerful are jets in radio-loud quasars? What is their composition? How are they launched? And why, in most quasars, are they so weak? I demonstrate the exceptional role that blazar studies can play in exploring the physics and structure of the innermost parts of quasar jets.
متن کاملRelativistic Jets in Radio - Weak Quasars
We discuss radio observations of a sample of radio-weak and radio-intermediate quasars which demonstrate that { just like their radio-loud counterparts { radio-weak quasars too have relativistic jets in their nuclei. Moreover, a VLA survey of nearby LINER galaxies reveals a relatively large number of at-spectrum radio cores. It is suggested that those cores are also best explained by moderately...
متن کاملRed synchrotron jets in Parkes quasars
We present model fits to spectral energy distributions in the optical and NIR of > 100 flat-spectrum radio quasars from the Parkes Half-Jansky Flat-spectrum Sample. We find that ∼ 40% of the sources have power-law SEDs, while a similar number show evidence for two primary components: a blue power law and optical synchrotron emission. The blue power law is similar to the dominant component obser...
متن کاملEmission from Large-scale Jets in Quasars
We consider the emission processes in the large-scale jets of powerful quasars based on the results obtained with the VLA, Spitzer, Hubble, and Chandra. We show that two well-known jets, 3C 273 and PKS 1136−135, have two distinct spectral components on large-scales: (1) the low-energy (LE) synchrotron spectrum extending from radio to infrared, and (2) the high-energy (HE) component arising from...
متن کاملIon-dominated plasma and the origin of jets in quasars
Low cooling plasmas associated with large kinetic energies are likely to be the origin of the kpc-extended and well collimated extra-galactic jets. It is proposed that jets are launched from a layer, governed by a highly diffusive, super-Keplerian rotating and thermally dominated by virial-hot and magnetized ion-plasma. The launching layer is located between the accretion disk and the corona su...
