  4. Relativistic jets in radio galaxies Jets from AGN carries huge amount of energy flux ・portion of its energy goes to electrons via shocks ・observed as radio lobes Cygnus A (VLA 1.4 GHz) Recent progress by observations (X-ray, radio) Synchrotron radio Non-thermal electrons + Energies of Inverse Compton X-ray Magnetic fields However, fraction of thermal component and protons are not constrained from observation Prevented from estimating total energy flux

  5. ICM reverse shock AGN jet forward bow shock To conquer this we propose a simple model of shock dynamics Powerful radio galaxies forms a shock via interaction with intra-cluster medium (ICM) and forms a cocoon Analytical model describing cocoon expansion (Kino & Kawakatu 2005) comparison Observational data Sketch of AGN jet (FR II) in ICM (credit; CXC) We probe totalkinetic power and source age

  9. Basic equations in our model balance between jet thrust and ambient ram pressure assumptions :eq. of motion (jet axis) Strong shock balance between cocoon pressure and ambient ram pressure :eq. of motion (lateral) ~ constant kinetic energy of jet converts to internal energy and work ~c energy equation : :cross section of j :total power Ac cocoon head cocoon   :ambient density :cross section of :cocoon length cocoon body :cocoon width :velocity of :lateral velocity cocoon head :volume of cocoon :jet velocity

  16. Summary By constructing analytical model for cocoon expansion we probe 5 FRII radio galaxies Cygnus A, 3C223, 3C284, 3C263, 3C219 Our main purpose is to constrain total kinetic power of jet estimates of in previous studies based on observations (e.g. Rawlings & Saunders 1991) :total energy of non-thermal electron and equipartition magnetic field :fraction of in total energy free parameter in present study by solving equation of motions is eliminated includes contribution of ‘invisible’ particles

  17. e- e- e+ e+ Implications from our results Our cocoon model predicts typically high energy conversion rate Compared with previous studies Is typically one order higher existence of invisible particles are dynamically important Future works 2D HD simulation to check our model (e.g. estimates of ) Anti-matter (e+e-) bubble??
