BLACK HOLE SPIN AND THE RADIO LOUD/QUIET DICHOTOMY OF ACTIVE GALACTIC NUCLEI (2009, background): “It could also be explained by the differences in the evolutionary stages at which we observe the objects (Blundell 2008) coupled with the episodic activity of the AGN evidenced by the change or precession of jet orientation (Steenbrugge & Blundell 2008; Steenbrugge et al. 2008, 2010).”
A VLBA survey of the core shift effect in AGN jets - I. Evidence of dominating synchrotron opacity (2011, background): “An alternative interpretation of the VLBI core as a standing shock in the jet is discussed by Marscher (2006, 2008).”
Jet opening angles and gamma-ray brightness of AGN (2009, background): “…ct) and/or (ii) their intrinsically different properties, for example, the presence of spinesheath structures like those observed in theγ-ray bright quasar 1055+018 (Attridge et al. 1999), TeV BL Lac object Mrk501 (Pushkarev et al. 2005; Giroletti et al. 2008) and radio galaxy M87 (Kovalev 2008).”
A synthesis model for AGN evolution: supermassive black holes growth and feedback modes (2008, background): “From these (and other) studies of the cavities, bubbles and weak shocks generated by the radio emitting jetsin the intra-cluster medium (ICM) it appears that AGN are energetically able to balance radiative losses from the ICM in the majorityof cases (Rafferty et al. 2006).”
