Scientific paper

Extragalactic radio sources often show evidence of asymmetric nuclear radio jets. If this asymmetry is intrinsic and caused by unequal ejection, then the central source may experience considerable net thrust and consequently behave like a massive rocket. The authors examine how the rocket's motion depends on the galaxy's density distribution and on the nondimensional thrust-to-gravity ratio of the rocket. The authors describe observational tests of source motion and indicate how they can place new constraints on jet properties and the density distribution within a galaxy.
