Numerical Simulations of Restarted Jets -- I. Dynamics

Prathamesh Ratnaparkhi, Dipanjan Mukherjee, Gianluigi Bodo +3

We performed high-resolution three-dimensional relativistic magnetohydrodynamic (RMHD) simulations of restarted jets evolving within the cavity of a previous jet episode, using the…

Non-thermal emission in jets and winds: Expected emission and spectral index distributions

M. Meenakshi, D. Mukherjee, G. Bodo +5

The origin of synchrotron emission in compact radio sources associated with active galactic nuclei (AGN) remains poorly understood. In a series of papers, we have examined diagnost…

2D magnetohydrodynamic jet simulations: properties of recollimation shocks

Stella Boula, Fabrizio Tavecchio, Gianluigi Bodo +2

Recollimation shocks are a frequent outcome in overpressured relativistic jets and are crucial for interpreting stationary features in Active Galactic Nuclei. The precise influence…

Galactic-scale evolution of classical and complex radio galaxies. Impact of ambient morphology and jet geometry

Gourab Giri, Prajnadipt Ghosh, Ravi Joshi +9

Extragalactic jets exhibit a wide range of propagation orientations relative to the host galaxy's principal axis. This study investigate the spatiotemporal evolution of jets as a f…

Instabilities at recollimation shocks in MHD jets

Stella Boula, Fabrizio Tavecchio, Gianluigi Bodo +4

AGN jet structure and stability remain uncertain; recollimation shocks are linked to morphology and variability, but the role of downstream instabilities is still unclear. We aim t…

VLBA observations of a sample of low-power compact symmetric objects

M. Orienti, F. D'Ammando, D. Dallacasa +3

Compact symmetric objects (CSOs) are intrinsically compact extragalactic radio sources that are thought to be the progenitors of classical radio galaxies. To date, evolutionary mod…

How do recollimation-induced instabilities shape the propagation of hydrodynamic relativistic jets?

A. Costa, G. Bodo, F. Tavecchio +4

Recollimation is a phenomenon of particular importance in the dynamic evolution of jets and in the emission of high-energy radiation. Additionally, the full comprehension of this p…

The polarization of the synchrotron radiation from a recollimated jet: application to high-energy BL Lacs

Alberto Sciaccaluga, Agnese Costa, Fabrizio Tavecchio +3

Multifrequency polarimetry, recently extended to the X-ray band thanks to the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) satellite, is an essential tool for understanding blazar jet…

Relativistic reconnection with effective resistivity: I. Dynamics and reconnection rate

M. Bugli, E. F. Lopresti, E. Figueiredo +6

Relativistic magnetic reconnection is one of the most fundamental mechanisms considered responsible for the acceleration of relativistic particles in astrophysical jets and magneto…

Recollimation shocks and radiative losses in extragalactic relativistic jets

G. Bodo, F. Tavecchio

We present the results of state-of-the-art simulations of recollimation shocks induced by the interaction of a relativistic jet with an external medium, including the effect of rad…
