Scale-invariant radio jets and varying black hole spin [PDF]
, 2016 Compact radio cores associated with relativistic jets are often observed in both active galactic nuclei and X-ray binaries. Their radiative properties follow some general scaling laws which primarily depend on their masses and accretion rates. However, it has been suggested that the black hole spin can also strongly influence the power and radio flux ...

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 astronomy in the 1940s and 1950s revealed the existence of a large number of discrete radio sources.

The bulk kinetic power of radio jets in active galactic nuclei [PDF]
, 2009 Based on the K\"onigl's inhomogeneous jet model, we estimate the jet parameters, such as bulk Lorentz factor $\Gamma$, viewing angle $\theta$ and electron number density $n_{\rm e}$ from radio VLBI and X-ray data for a sample of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) assuming that the X-rays are from the jet rather than the intracluster gas.

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

The Astrophysical Journal, 1982 The relationship between the radio and optical emissions from the nucleus of the Seyfert galaxy NGC 4151 is investigated by mapping the radio radiation from this source at wavelengths of 20 and 6 cm using the Very Large Array of the National Radio Astronomy Observatory.

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

A Galactic survey of radio jets from massive protostars [PDF]
, 2021 In conjunction with a previous southern-hemisphere work, we present the largest radio survey of jets from massive protostars to date with high-resolution, ($\sim 0.04^{\prime\prime}$) VLA observations towards two subsamples of massive star-forming ...

Two Candidate High-redshift X-Ray Jets without Coincident Radio Jets [PDF]
Astrophysical Journal, 2020 We report the detection of extended X-ray emission from two high-redshift radio quasars. These quasars, J1405+0415 at z = 3.208 and J1610+1811 at z = 3.118, were observed in a Chandra snapshot survey selected from a complete sample of the radio-brightest

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.
