The structure of a relativistically hot, strongly magnetized jet is investigated at large distances from the source. Asymptotic equations are derived describing collimation and acceleration of the externally confined jet. Conditions are found for the transformation of the thermal energy into the fluid kinetic energy or into the Poynting flux. Simple scalings are presented for the jet collimation angle and Lorentz factors.

For axisymmetric jets viewed nearly on-axis, synchrotron polarization degree grows strongly with electron spectral index while the polarization angle stays nearly fixed, explaining observed optical-to-X-ray polarizati...
