Measuring the jet power of flat spectrum radio quasars
arXiv:1208.1614 · doi:10.1088/0004-637X/756/2/161
Abstract
We use frequency-dependent position shifts of flat spectrum radio cores to estimate the kinetic power of AGN jets. We find a correlation between the derived jet powers and AGN narrow-line luminosity, consistent with the well-known relation for radio galaxies and steep spectrum quasars. This technique can be applied to intrinsically weak jets even at high redshift.
