The space view of
radio galaxies
Sydney, Australia, 2-3 February 2021
RATIONALE
With highly energetic relativistic jets that sometimes reach a few Megaparsecs, radio galaxies are fundamental actors in theories of black hole growth and downsizing, and in the evolution of their host galaxies. This event is designed to provide an overview of our knowledge of radio galaxies as obtained from space experiments, with a particular focus on the results obtained by RadioAstron and the X-ray/gamma-ray satellites.
Main topics:
X-ray and gamma-ray emission from radio galaxies
Space-VLBI results & prospects on jets launching and collimation
Theory and simulations of accretion/ejection physics
Census, restarting nuclear activity and jet-medium interaction
Lessons from the multi-frequency/messenger approach
