FRI射电星系中喷流与环境的相互作用

Jet-environment interactions in FRI radio galaxies

R. A. Laing, A. H. Bridle

摘要:

现在有明确的证据表明,FR I射电星系中的喷流最初是相对论性的,减速流。假设它们是轴对称的,本质上是对称的(一个很好的近似接近核),我们可以使他们的几何形状,速度,发射率和场结构的模型,其参数可以通过拟合深VLA观测确定。质量卷吸--无论是来自喷流体积内的恒星质量损失,还是通过喷流表面的边界层--都是减速的最可能原因。这一想法是定量一致的速度场和几何推断的运动学建模和外部气体密度和压力分布来自X射线观测。喷流最初必须非常轻,也许是由电子-正电子组成的。

英文摘要:

There is now unequivocal evidence that the jets in FR I radio galaxies are initially relativistic, decelerating flows. On the assumption that they are axisymmetric and intrinsically symmetrical (a good approximation close to the nucleus), we can make models of their geometry, velocity, emissivity and field structure whose parameters can be determined by fitting to deep VLA observations. Mass entrainment - either from stellar mass loss within the jet volume or via a boundary layer at the jet surface - is the most likely cause for deceleration. This idea is quantitatively consistent with the velocity field and geometry inferred from kinematic modelling and the external gas density and pressure profiles derived from X-ray observations. The jets must initially be very light, perhaps with an electron-positron composition.
