Scientific paper
A mechanism is proposed for the formation of collimated beams in radio galaxies. Collimated flows are considered to be non-thermally driven by high energy particles and magneto-hydrodynamic (MHD) waves. The galactic nucleus is regarded as being surrounded by a cool gas. The cool gas accretes onto the nucleus, and then the high energy particles are completely locked to the MHD waves. When a quasi-radial magnetic field is embedded in the accretion flow, the resulting MHD wave packets are collimated into the direction of the symmetry axis of the galactic nuclear disc. The fluid around the nucleus is considered to be accelerated and heated by these MHD waves. The fluid beam is ejected along the symmetry axis.
