Abstract

The escape of relativistic neutrons from their production region can have various consequencies for the morphology of active galaxies. The phenomena of luminosity gaps and radio jet lighting in extragalactic radio sources (EGRSs) fit into the model that employs relativistic neutrons as the vector for particle and energy transport out of the central engines of AGNs. The central radio gaps reveal themselves as regions of relativistic neutron beam transport. The relativistic neutrons, which decay in flight after traveling for ∼ 103 γn s, produce secondaries which are responsible for the radio jet lighting and the associated phenomena in EGRSs.
