Particle acceleration in relativistic jets, to very high levels of energy, occurs at the expense of
the dissipation of magnetic or kinetic energy. Therefore, understanding the processes that …

We present the results of a pilot JVLA project aimed at studying the bulk of the radio-emitting
AGN population, that was unveiled by the NVSS/FIRST and SDSS surveys. The key …

We have performed magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations of relativistic jets from
supermassive blackholes over a few tens of kpc for a range of jet parameters. One of the …

With the aim of exploring the properties of the class of FR 0 radio galaxies, we selected a
sample of 108 compact radio sources, called FR0CAT, by combining observations from the …

We investigate with relativistic MHD (magnetohydrodynamic) simulations the dissipation
physics of BL Lac jets, by studying the synchrotron polarization signatures of particles …

We present the results of Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA) observations regarding the
properties of FR0 radio galaxies, the compact radio sources associated with early-type …

ABSTRACT X-ray observations of kiloparsec-scale extragalactic jets favour a synchrotron
origin. The short cooling times of the emitting electrons require a distributed acceleration of …

We study the evolution of kink instability in a force-free, nonrotating plasma column of high
magnetization. The main dissipation mechanism is identified as reconnection of magnetic …

We investigate the effect of the jet's immediate surroundings on the non-thermal synchrotron
emission and its polarization properties. The ambient medium is equipped with a turbulent …

Magnetized jets in gamma-ray bursts and active galactic nuclei are thought to be efficient
accelerators of particles; however, the process responsible for the acceleration is still a …
