The jets in 3 C 296

چکیده
We present observations made with the VLA at 1.5 and 8.4 GHz of the nearby FRI radio galaxy 3C 296. The most recent models of FRI radio galaxies suggest that substantial deceleration must take place in their jets, with strongly relativistic velocities on parsec scales giving place to at most mildly relativistic velocities on scales of tens of kiloparsecs. The region over which this deceleration takes place is therefore of considerable interest. By considering the side-to-side asymmetries of the jets of 3C 296, we constrain the region of strong deceleration in the source. Our observations show evidence that the jets have slow edges surrounding faster central spines. We discuss the implications of our observations for models of the magnetic field structure in these objects.

A Chandra observation of the X - ray environment and jet of 3 C 296
We have observed the twin-jet radio galaxy 3C 296 with Chandra. X-ray emission is detected from the nucleus, from the inner parts of the radio jet, and from a small-scale thermal environment around the jet deceleration region. As we have found in previous observations of other twin-jet radio galaxies, the X-ray jet and a steep pressure gradient in the external thermal environment are associated...
متن کاملA relativistic model of the radio jets in 3 C 296
We present new, deep 8.5-GHz VLA observations of the nearby, low-luminosity radio galaxy 3C 296 at resolutions from 0.25 to 5.5 arcsec. These show the intensity and polarization structures of the twin radio jets in detail. We derive the spectral-index distribution using lowerfrequency VLA observations and show that the flatter-spectrum jets are surrounded by a sheath of steeper-spectrum diffuse...

In this study, the numerical analysis of turbulent flow and heat transfer of double pulsating impinging jets on a flat surface has been investigated. The unsteady two-dimensional numerical solution for two similar and dissimilar jets was performed using the RNG k-ε model. The results showed that the RNG k-ε model has more satisfactory predictions of the Nusselt number distribution. Comparisons ...

Designing and manufacturing the multiple jets simulator and experimental investigation of the multiple jets in crossflow at low velocity ratios have been studied Together with design and build a low-speed wind tunnel. A specific rake is used to determine the flow field pressure and changes in static pressure measured by pressure taps in the near field of the jets. There are generally three regi...
متن کاملExperimental Study of Parallel Jets Scouring, considering the effect of jets distance on erosion rate
The scouring process at downstream of the hydraulic structures is a complex phenomenon and many parameters affecting its amount. Failure to control this phenomenon causes damages to the dam and its associated hydraulic structures. In this research, the scouring caused by the combination of jets outlet from a gated spillway was investigated experimentally and the combination of jets adjacent to ...
