Rayleigh–Taylor instability in two-component relativistic jets [PDF]
, 2017 Relativistic jets associated with active galactic nuclei and gamma-ray bursts propagate over huge distances without significant loss of momentum. At the same time they are bright emitters, which is indicative of strong energy dissipation.

Accelerating AGN jets to parsec scales using general relativistic MHD simulations [PDF]
Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2019 Accreting black holes produce collimated outflows, or jets, that traverse many orders of magnitude in distance, accelerate to relativistic velocities, and collimate into tight opening angles.

The influence of collimation on the appearance of relativistic jets [PDF]
, 2010 The question of the collimation of relativistic jets is the subject of a lively debate in the community. We numerically compute the apparent velocity and the Doppler factor of a non homokinetic jet using different velocity profile, to study the effect of

Hydrodynamic Interactions of Relativistic Extragalactic Jets with Dense Clouds [PDF]
Astrophys.J.655:769-780,2007, 2006 We have studied three-dimensional hydrodynamic interactions of relativistic extragalactic jets with two-phase ambient media. These jets propagate through a denser homogeneous gas and then impact clouds with densities 100 to 1000 times higher than the initial beam density. The deflection angle of the jet is influenced more by the density contrast of the

Relativistic Jets from X-ray binaries [PDF]
, 1999 In this review I summarise the status of observational research into relativistic jets from X-ray binaries, highlighting four areas in particular: (i) How relativistic are the jets ?, (ii) The disc : jet coupling, (iii) the nature of the underlying flat ...

Jets from black hole binaries and Galactic Nuclei
, 2000 Relativistic outflows are a common phenomenon in accreting black holes. Despite the enormous differences in scale, stellar-mass black holes in binaries and supermassive black holes in Galactic Nuclei produce jets with analogous properties.

DISCOVERY OF A PSEUDOBULGE GALAXY LAUNCHING POWERFUL RELATIVISTIC JETS [PDF]
, 2016 Supermassive black holes launching plasma jets at close to the speed of light, producing gamma-rays, have ubiquitously been found to be hosted by massive elliptical galaxies.
