Magnetohydrodynamic effects in radio jets. (1986). Revista Mexicana De Astronomía Y Astrofísica, 12(1), 143-152. https://astronomia.unam.mx/journals/rmxaa/article/view/1986rmxaa..12..143d
Abstract
The authors study the dynamic effects of magnetic fields on jets. For a quantitative analysis of the problem, they consider a continuous jet with negligible viscous and thermal conductive effects and infinite electrical conductivity. They show that solutions of the magnetohydrodynamic equations give a natural explanation for the observed slow and rapid changes of opening angle. The authors show also that the observed opening angle and its rate of change put limits on the possible physical parameters of the jet.Similar Articles
