Scientific paper

This paper describes a theoretical model of the knots in the M87 jet based on the idea that it is a steady fluid jet propagation through a non-uniform atmosphere. The authors argue that knots D, E and F can be explained by the jet being underexpanded as it emerges from the central source, while knot A is due to reconfinement of the jet. Very high resolution numerical calculations are used to show that good agreement with the observed positions of the knots can be obtained with reasonable jet parameters and an atmosphere consistent with the X-ray observations.
