The Fanaroff-Riley class II radio galaxy Cygnus A hosts jets which produce radio emission, X-ray cavities, cocoon shocks, and X-ray hotspots where the jet interacts with the ICM. Surrounding one hotspot is a peculiar "hole" feature which…

The precession phenomenon of the jet in a gamma-ray burst (GRB) is a key probe of the physics of the central engine. Previous studies generally assumed a fixed precession period when analysing the temporal profiles in GRBs; however, the…

The giant jets represent a fundamental trace of the historical evolution of the outflow activity over timescales which are comparable to the accretion time of the outflow sources in their main protostellar phase. The study of such huge jets…
It has been observed that many relativistic jets display a kind of cork-screw-like precession. Numerical simulations has suggested that such kind of precession may originate from the precession of the disk. In this work, we introduce an…
Forward shocks by radio jets, driven into the intracluster medium, are one of the indicators that can be used to evaluate the power of the jet. Meanwhile high-angular-resolution X-ray observations show the Mach numbers of powerful radio…
