On the acceleration and deceleration of relativistic jets in active galactic nuclei - II. Mass-loading

E. E. Nokhrina, V. S. Beskin

The effect of a mass-loading of the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow in a relativistic jet from active galactic nuclei (AGN) due to $\gamma \gamma \to e^{+}{e}^{-}$ conversion is considered an…
