The Radio Jet in 3C418
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 04 August 2017
Abstract
Models are here presented interpreting the arcsecond radio structure found in the quasar 3C418 as a precessing jet. No simple solution exists and it has been found necessary to complicate the model geometry by allowing the precession cone-angle to increase with time. The timescales suggest the presence of a close binary black-hole system within the quasar core. The modelled behaviour of the precession cone close to the core is explained either by interaction of the jet with the surrounding galactic material or by the observation of the source during the capture of one black-hole by the other.
