Scientific paper

From a sample of 14 double hotspots in powerful extended extragalactic double radio sources, the author derives the widths of primary and secondary jets. In the model he uses, the primary jet extends from the core to the more compact primary hotspot and the secondary jet emerges from the primary hotspot and dissipates to form the diffuse secondary hotspot. Mean values of hotspot size/jet extent imply that the primary and secondary jets, if free, must be 2° and >27° wide, respectively.
