Abstract

We have investigated how varying several parameters affects the results of a collision between an extragalactic jet and a dense, intergalactic cloud, through a series of hydrodynamic simulations. We have produced synthetic radio images for comparison with observations. These show that a variety of structures may be produced from simple jet-cloud collisions. Moderate Mach numbers and density contrasts are needed to produce observable bends. We investigate the effect of viewing from various angles on the appearance of such sources.KeywordsRadio SourceHydrodynamic SimulationExtragalactic Radio SourceRadio StructureHigh Redshift QuasarThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
