Sources of Relativistic Jets in the Galaxy [PDF]
Annual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics, 1999 Black holes of stellar mass and neutron stars in binary systems are first detected as hard X-ray sources using high-energy space telescopes. Relativistic jets in some of these compact sources are found by means of multiwavelength observations with ground-

Simulations of relativistic extragalactic jets [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 1994 We describe a method for the numerical solution of the relativistic Euler equations which we have found to be both robust and efficient, and which has enabled us to simulate relativistic jets. The technique employs a solver of the Godunov-type, with approximate solution of the local Riemann problems, applied to laboratory frame variables.

The relativistic Jet in M84 [PDF]
Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1996 The elliptical galaxy M84 (NGC 4374, UGC 07494) hosts an FR-I radio continuum source (Laing & Bridle 1987, MNRAS, 228, 557) and a dusty, warped optical emission line “disk” (Baumet al.1988, ApJS, 68, 643; Goudfrooijet al.1994, A&ApS, 105, 341).

Some Implications of inverse-Compton Scattering of Hot Cocoon Radiation by relativistic jets in Gamma-Ray Bursts [PDF]
, 2014 Long Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRB) relativistic jets are surrounded by hot cocoons which confine jets during their punch out from the progenitor star. These cocoons are copious sources of X-ray photons that can be and are inverse-Compton (IC) scattered to MeV ...

Shock dynamics in relativistic jets [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2013 We present a formalism of the dynamics of internal shocks in relativistic jets where the source has a time-dependent injection velocity and mass-loss rate. The variation of the injection velocity produces a two-shock wave structure, the working surface, that moves along the jet.

New Astronomy Reviews, 2004 Despite substantial observational and theoretical progress over many years, numerous key questions surrounding the topic of relativistic jets remain to be answered. In particular we still do not know how they are ejected from the supermassive black holes that are implicated in their production and we do not know how the ejection of matter at ...

A Comparison of the Morphology and Stability of Relativistic and Nonrelativistic Jets [PDF]
, 1999 We compare results from a relativistic and a nonrelativistic set of 2D axisymmetric jet simulations. For a set of five relativistic simulations that either increase the Lorentz factor or decrease the adiabatic index we compute nonrelativistic simulations
