The impact of flickering variability and magnetisation on the dynamics, stability and morphology of radio-loud AGN jets

Alex J. Cooper, Emma L. Elley, Henry Whitehead, James H. Matthews

High magnetization and flickering variability produce asymmetrical cocoons and broken jet beams in radio-loud AGN jets.

The bundle contains the canonical record plus signed events. A mirror can host it anywhere and recompute the same current state with the deterministic merge algorithm.

Claims

C1strongest claim

We find that the constant high magnetisation jets can lead to highly asymmetrical cocoon morphologies, whilst the variable high magnetisation jet can exhibit a broken morphology, caused by a discontinuous jet beam.

C2weakest assumption

The chosen two levels of magnetization and the specific flickering prescription are representative of real AGN jets and that numerical resolution is sufficient to capture the reported instabilities without artifacts.

C3one line summary

High magnetization and flickering variability in relativistic MHD simulations create asymmetrical cocoons and broken jet morphologies in AGN jets.
