Very light magnetized jets on large scales – I. Evolution and magnetic fields

Magnetic fields, which are undoubtedly present in extragalactic jets and responsible for the observed synchrotron radiation, can affect the morphology and dynamics of the jets and their interaction with the ambient cluster medium. We examine the jet propagation, morphology and magnetic field structu...
