Two-Sided Radio Jets in B1524–136

ASTRONOMY AND ASTROPHYSICS B1524−136: A CSS quasar with two-sided radio jets

We present MERLIN, global VLBI and VLBA observations of the high-luminosity, compact steepspectrum quasar B1524−136 at cm wavelengths. These observations reveal well-defined radio jets on both sides of the active nucleus, a situation which is almost unique amongst high-luminosity radio quasars. However, the radio jets on opposite sides are very dissimilar, and the overall radio structure appear...

Radio Jets in Cooling Cores

Almost every strong cooling core contains an active radio galaxy. Combined radio and X-ray images reveal the dramatic interaction which is taking place between the radio jet and the central cluster plasma. At least two important questions can in principle be answered by comparing the new data to theoretical models. The first is how the radio jet propagates, and disrupts, in the cooling core env...

Cosmic Radio Jets

Extragalactic radio sources, including quasars, are now typically understood as being produced by a pair of nearly symmetric, oppositely directed relativistic jets. While some these sources span megaparsecs, and are thus the largest physically connected structures in the universe, emitting regions identified as jets have now been found on all scales down to fractions of a parsec, and jets appea...

Jets from Radio Pulsars

The observational evidence for jets and phenomena arising from rotation powered radio pulsars is reviewed, including many recent and exciting discoveries at X-ray wavelengths. The well studied jets of the Crab pulsar are summarised, including recent results from the HST. The evolutionary links between the known binary radio pulsars and jets sources in X-ray binaries are discussed.
