Scientific paper

It was shown in an earlier paper (Gorbatskii, 1981) that jet-like ejections from the active nuclei of radio galaxies can be created by ejectors of relativistic electrons moving away from the nucleus. The observations indicate that the magnetic field in the neighborhood of an active nucleus is tangled and very inhomogeneous. If the gradient of the magnetic field is sufficiently large and its direction differs little from the direction of the velocity of the 'bunches' of ejectors, it is possible for there to be 'superluminal' (from the point of view of the observer) motion of bright 'knots' in the jet-like structure near the nucleus.
