چکیده
The emission lines in the active galaxy IRAS 0421+0400 show a dramatic (≈ 900 kms −1) increase in the velocity spread at the position of radio hotspots which are located at the beginning of extended radio lobes. We study a model which explains this phenomenon as the result of a jet emerging through the boundary between the interstellar and intergalactic medium. A similar scenario has previously been suggested as an explanation for wide angle tail radio sources (WAT's). Based on our model, we simulate the longslit spectra of these regions and compare the results with the observations and find that it can explain most of the details in the observed longslit spectra.

Microquasars are binary systems in our Galaxy which sporadically eject matter at relativistic speeds along bipolar jets. While phenomenologically similar to quasars, their vicinity allows much more in-depth studies. I review the observational aspects of microquasars, in particular the new developments on the interplay between accretion disk instabilities and jet ejection.

A complex structure of nuclear disks of normal spiral galaxies is illustrated on the example of five galaxies, observed at 6m telescope. A problem of gravitational stability of nuclear disks is shortly discussed.

We examine models in which jets are responsible for the formation of the emission-line spiral structure in IRAS 04210+0400. The kiloparsec-scale radio lobes in this active galaxy appear to be related to its extended emission-line spiral structure. The radio structure consists mainly of extended symmetrically bent, FR I-type lobes, which follow the emission-line spiral structure at their inner e...
