The Orientation of Accretion Disks Relative to Dust Disks in Radio Galaxies
arXiv:astro-ph/0211039
Abstract
We study the orientation of accretion disks, traced by the position angle of the jet, relative to the dust disk major axis in a sample of 20 nearby Radio Galaxies. We find that the observed distribution of angles between the jet and dust disk major axis is consistent with jets homogeneously distributed over a polar cap of 77 degrees.
