Scientific paper

A model which describes quasars and their associated jets as magnetically self-compressed phenomena is presented. By scaling these phenomena to astrophysical dimensions, the problems inherent to gravitationally-confined approaches are avoided. A mechanism by which the energy of a quasar is ultimately derived from the volume of an entire protogalactic cloud is presented. The model's predictions of quasar energy, radiated power, lifetime, dimensions, density and rotational velocity were found to be in good agreement with observations. This model is subsequently extended to radio galaxies and the role of magnetic self-compression in the origins of galactic filamentary superclusters is discussed.
