Jet deceleration: the case of PKS 1136-135

Astrophysics 2015-06-24 v1

Abstract

Modeling the multiwavelength emission of successive regions in the jet of the quasar PKS 1136-135 we find indication that the jet suffers deceleration near its end. Adopting a continuous flow approximation we discuss the possibility that the inferred deceleration is induced by entrainment of external gas.
