On the deceleration of relativistic jets in active galactic nuclei I: Radiation drag
arXiv:1608.01706 · doi:10.1093/mnras/stw2234
Abstract
Deceleration of relativistic jets from active galactic nuclei (AGNs) detected recently by MOJAVE team is discussed in connection with the interaction of the jet material with the external photon field. Appropriate energy density of the isotropic photon field which is necessary to decelerate jets is determined. It is shown that the disturbances of the electric potential and magnetic surfaces play important role in general dynamics of particle deceleration.
