3D Evolution of Jets in Clusters of Galaxies — a Comparison with Herbig-Haro Flows

  • Chapter
Jets in Young Stellar Objects

Abstract/Summary

A comparison is drawn between jet propagation in molecular clouds and jets launched by galaxies in clusters. The biggest difference between the two types of jets is found in the density contrast. While the cocoon plasma in extragalactic jets has now been detected in X-rays, the corresponding cocoon gas for Herbig-Haro flows is barely visible.
