Simulation-based inference for AGN jet population modelling: Towards more robust comparisons of black hole jet speeds
Clara Lilje, James H. Matthews, Rob Fender
We present the most complete modelling of the MOJAVE 1.5 Jansky Quarter Century active galactic nuclei (AGN) jet population, using likelihood-free simulation-based inference. Due t…

Observational Biases and Improved Modelling of Off-axis Relativistic Jets
A. J. Cooper, A. P. Scott, L. Rhodes +8
Relativistic Doppler boosting significantly affects the observed emission of astrophysical jets resulting in observational biases. In this work we investigate the observational bia…

Kinematics show consistency between stellar mass and supermassive black hole parent population jet speeds
Clara Lilje, Rob Fender, James H. Matthews
Jets from stellar-mass and supermassive black holes provide the unique opportunity to study similar processes in two very different mass regimes. Historically, the apparent speeds…
