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 ...

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 ...

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

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.

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 ...

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)

Offsets between X-Ray and Radio Components in X-Ray Jets: The AtlasX
The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 2023 The X-ray emission mechanism of powerful extragalactic jets—which has important implications for their environmental impacts—is poorly understood. The X-ray/radio positional offsets in the individual features of jets provide important clues.

Narrow-Line Seyfert 1 Galaxies With Absorbed Jets–Insights From Radio Spectral Index Maps
Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2021 Narrow-line Seyfert 1 (NLS1) galaxies are active galactic nuclei (AGN) believed to be in the early stages of their evolution. A fraction of them have been found to host relativistic jets.

Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1984 Models are here presented interpreting the arcsecond radio structure found in the quasar 3C418 as a precessing jet. No simple solution exists and it has been found necessary to complicate the model geometry by allowing the precession cone-angle to increase with time.
