A relativistic model of the radio jets in 3C 296
R. A. Laing, J. R. Canvin, A. H. Bridle +1
We present new, deep 8.5-GHz VLA observations of the nearby, low-luminosity radio galaxy 3C 296 at resolutions from 0.25 to 5.5 arcsec. These show the intensity and polarization st…
Faraday rotation variations along radio jets: the magnetic field in galaxy and group halos
R. A. Laing, J. R. Canvin, W. D. Cotton +2
Our modelling of FR I radio jets as decelerating, relativistic flows allows us to derive their orientations accurately. We present images of Faraday rotation for two of these these…
Magnetic fields in jets: ordered or disordered?
R. A. Laing, J. R. Canvin, A. H. Bridle
The question of the degree of order in the magnetic fields of relativistic jets is important to any understanding of their production. Both vector-ordered (e.g. helical) and disord…
Multifrequency observations of the jets in the radio galaxy NGC 315
R. A. Laing, J. R. Canvin, W. D. Cotton +1
We present images of the jets in the nearby radio galaxy NGC 315 made with the VLA at five frequencies between 1.365 and 5 GHz with resolutions between 1.5 and 45 arcsec FWHM. With…
A relativistic model of the radio jets in NGC 315
J. R. Canvin, R. A. Laing, A. H. Bridle +1
We apply our intrinsically symmetrical, decelerating relativistic jet model to deep VLA imaging of the inner 140 arcsec of the giant low-luminosity radio galaxy NGC 315. An optimiz…
Observations of jet dissipation
R. A. Laing, J. R. Canvin, A. H. Bridle
We summarise the recent progress of a project to determine physical conditions in the jets of low-luminosity (FR I) radio galaxies. We model the jets as intrinsically symmetrical,…
