Scientific paper

The jet of the radio galaxy M87 is misaligned, resulting in a Doppler factor delta~1 for emission of plasma moving parallel to the jet. This makes the observed fast TeV flares on timescales of t_v~5R_g/c harder to understand as emission from the jet. In previous work, we have proposed a jets-in-a-jet model for the ultra-fast TeV flares with t_v<
