The existence of jets emanating from the central sources of
radio galaxies and quasars was perhaps the most important
discovery for our understanding of the nature of active
galactic nuclei. These proceedings present reviews and
research papers on extragalactic radio sources. The book
begins witha discussion of the phenomenology and models of
radio sources. The main partis devoted to detailed studies
of jets by VLBI, to the information obtained about the
structure of the central source as deduced from variability
studies, to production, confinement and velocity of jets as
well as to numerical simulations of the jet phenomenon.
Reviews of the two best studied jets - those in the radio
galaxy M87 and the quasar 3C273 - illustrate our current
observational picture of extragalactic radio jets in all
accessible wavelength ranges. A section on the influence of
the environment on radio galaxies concludes the book. This
topical volume addresses researchers and graduate students
in astrophysics.weiterlesen
