Description

Radio trails are interpreted in terms of the twin-jet theory of double radio sources. A simple dynamical model of a narrow jet bending under the ram pressure of the intra-cluster medium is calculated and applied to some observations of the source associated with NGC1265. Observed radio emission must come from the interior of the jet, which is surprisingly stable to disruptive instabilities. (author)
