Optical observations of radio jets [PDF]
Highlights of Astronomy, 1980 Over the past several years a considerable body of evidence has accumulated, suggesting that extended radio sources are powered quasi-continuously from the nuclei of their parent galaxies. This view is supported by the recent discovery that several radio galaxies have narrow radio jets which connect their active nuclei with the large radio lobes and ...

An Old Fogey’s History of Radio Jets [PDF]
Galaxies, 2017 This paper describes a personal view of the discovery of radio jets in celestial radio sources. The existence of narrow, collimated optical features in distant objects has been known about since the early 20th century; however, the advent of radio ...

Highlights of Astronomy, 1983 The purpose of this review is to outline the systematic properties of radio jets on kpc scales, as derived from the basic observations of surface brightness and linear polarization and to emphasize the uncertainties in the determination of their physical parameters. These results come primarily from observations of about 100 jets with the VLA: a fuller

Quasi-periodic oscillations of GHz-band polarization in a black hole [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsRelativistic jets from accreting black holes radiate non-thermal emission which is highly variable in different time scales. Previous studies on black holes of different mass scales, including supermassive and stellar-mass black holes, only report flux ...

ENVIRONMENT DENSITY OF A GIANT RADIO STRUCTURE FOR GALAXIES AND QUASARS WITH STEEP RADIO SPECTRA [PDF]
Radio Physics and Radio Astronomy, 2021 Purpose: Estimate of the environment density of giant (with the linear size of about megaparsec) radio structures for galaxies and quasars with steep low-frequency spectra taken from the UTR-2 catalogue. Study of the cosmological evolution of environment

Radio jet precession in M 81* [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2023 We report four novel position angle measurements of the core region M 81* at 5 GHz and 8 GHz, which confirm the presence of sinusoidal jet precession in the M 81 jet region, as suggested by Martí-Vidal et al. (2011, A&A, 533, A111). The model makes three testable predictions regarding the evolution of the jet precession, which we test in our data ...

Wide-Angle-Tail (WAT) Radio Sources
Galaxies, 2023 We review the properties of Wide-Angle-Tail (WAT) radio sources. The WAT radio sources are powerful, bent radio sources typically associated with the dominant galaxy in a cluster or group.

Radio Emission of Nearby Early-type Galaxies in the Low and Very Low Radio Luminosity Range
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 We analyze radio continuum emission of early-type galaxies with dynamical measurements of central supermassive black hole (SMBH) masses and well-characterized large-scale environments, but regardless of the exact level of the nuclear activity.

Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2023 Context.The local radio-loud AGN population is dominated by compact sources named FR0s. These sources show features, for example the host type, the mass of the supermassive black hole (SMBH), and the multi-band nuclear characteristics, that are similar to those of FRI radio galaxies.

What Drives the Ionized Gas Outflows in Radio-Quiet AGN?
Galaxies, 2023 We review the mechanisms driving the ionized gas outflows in radio-quiet (RQ) AGN. Although it constitutes ∼90% of the AGN population, what drives these outflows in these AGNs remains an open question. High-resolution imaging and integral field unit (IFU)
