Summary

Active Galactic Nuclei Jets (AGN) are complex astrophysics phenomena. Understanding their mechanism involve many aspect of the theory of high energy physics (general relativity, fluid mechanics, radiative physics, electro-magnetism, relativistic thermodynamics…). There is a need to build pertinent models of these flows to explain the main involved physical mechanisms, to make numerical simulations and study their role in the formation and the history of galaxies. There is also a lot of work to observe these such distant phenomena with the goal of getting the most pertinent explanation.
