The Chandra view of the 3C/FRI sample of low luminosity radio-galaxies
B. Balmaverde, A. Capetti, P. Grandi
We present results from Chandra observations of the 3C/FRI sample of low luminosity radio-galaxies. We detected a power-law nuclear component in 12 objects out of the 18 with avail…
The host galaxy/AGN connection in nearby early-type galaxies. Is there a miniature radio-galaxy in every "core" galaxy?
B. Balmaverde, A. Capetti
This is the second of a series of three papers exploring the connection between the multiwavelength properties of AGN in nearby early-type galaxies and the characteristics of their…
Helical jets in blazars. Interpretation of the multifrequency long-term variability of AO 0235+16
L. Ostorero, M. Villata, C. M. Raiteri
The long-term variability of the multiwavelength blazar emission can be interpreted in terms of orientation variations of a helical, inhomogeneous, non-thermally emitting jet, poss…
On the matter entrainment by stellar jets and the acceleration of molecular outflows
M. Micono, G. Bodo, S. Massaglia +2
We study, by numerical simulations, the entrainment process in a supersonic, radiative jet flow, during the evolution of Kelvin-Helmholtz instabilities, in the context of the the a…
Kelvin-Helmholtz instability in three dimensional radiative jets
M. Micono, G. Bodo, S. Massaglia +3
The analysis of the stability properties of astrophysical jets against Kelvin-Helmholtz (or shear-layer) instabilities plays a basic role in the understanding the origin and physic…
