Kinematics of the jet in M 87 on scales of 100โ1000 Schwarzschild radii
Kinematics of the jet in M 87 on scales of 100โ1000 Schwarzschild radii
Very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) imaging of radio emission from extragalactic jets provides a unique probe of physical mechanisms governing the launching, acceleration, and collimation of relativistic outflows. The two-dimensional structure and kinematics of the jet in M\,87 (NGC\,4486) have been studied by applying the Wavelet-based Image Segmentation and Evaluation โฆ
