Marios Karouzos, Silke Britzen, Andreas Eckart, Anton Zensus
TL;DR
This study examines the morphology and movement of jets in a complete radio-loud AGN sample, revealing correlations with gamma-ray properties and notable jet angle variations.
Contribution
It provides new insights into the relationship between jet kinematics, morphology, and gamma-ray activity in AGNs.
Findings
Gamma-ray detected AGNs have higher apparent jet speeds.
Gamma-variable sources exhibit more significant jet morphological evolution.
A small percentage show large swings in jet ejection angles.
Abstract
We investigate the jet morphology and kinematics of a statistically complete radio-loud AGN sample in terms of the gamma-ray properties of the sources. Gamma-ray detected AGN dominate the high end of the jet apparent speed distribution of the total sample. Gamma-variable sources show stronger evolution in their jet morphology. A 5.1% of the sources show large (> 15 degrees) swings in their jet ejection angle.
