A Self-Similar Model for Extragalactic Jets and the FRI/FRII Divide
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 April 2016
Abstract
We present a model for the large scale structure of FRIItype extragalactic radio sources. The sources are shown to grow selfsimilar and the dependence of the length of the source and the pressure inside the cocoon on the life time are calculated. The stability of the jets in such sources is investigated and the jet power at which FRII sources turn into FRIs is found to be in good agreement with observations.
