Description
"The jets and extended lobes of extragalactic radio sources are known to play a key role in AGN feedback processes and the co-evolution of supermassive black holes and their host galaxies. However, although sufficient energy input is available from jets, both the regulation of feedback and the processes required to heat the intergalactic medium remain open questions. To resolve them, we need to quantify the mass, momentum and energy inputs from jets and map jet interactions with their environment. This research aims to develop high-resolution, high-sensitivity maps of the jets and lobes in 3C272 and to investigate their physical properties and energetics using multifrequency radio observations from the e-MERLIN jets legacy programme, with complementary data from the Very Large Array (VLA). The research seeks to build a model of the spectral energy distribution using ancillary data at other frequencies and/or wavelengths.
