The relationship between emission line luminosity and beam power in radiogalaxies

Description

We report the discovery of a strong correlation between the bulk power in the beams of classical double radiogalaxies and the luminosity of the narrow emission lines from the associated active nucleus. We discuss the implications for the fuelling of the central engine of radiosources, and for the relation between radiogalaxies, radio-loud quasars and radio-quiet quasars. (author)
