twin-exhaust model

subject fact

twin-exhaust model has definition A theoretical model for radio galaxies in which a compact source in the galactic nucleus is assumed to emit twin beams of rapidly moving plasma that traverse hundreds of thousands of light-years, eventually splattering to a halt in the ambient intergalactic gas, where the resulting dissipation energizes the radio lobes. has source: Silk, J. 1990 The Big Bang, W.
