Scientific paper

The author considers the properties of strong, low frequency electromagnetic waves associated to the magnetic oblique rotator model for AGN. In the presence of a large scale magnetic field in the surroundings of AGN, the otherwise catastrophic Weibel instability is inefficient. Then a slower damping mechanism, associated to the radiation reaction of particles moving in and interacting with the strong waves, may lead to the formation of small scale (VLBI) structures. This may also explain some VLBI features observed in the jets from extended extragalactic radio sources, in case a precollimation process on larger scales is available.
