Scientific paper

Jets tell us that the AGN problem has a symmetry axis, at least for the radio-loud systems. The jets come in two primary 'flavors', whose properties resemble those of the two primary modes of propagation of confined, light supersonic flows. In strong sources, many of the jet-lobe relationships and asymmetries are consistent with bulk relativistic velocities in the outflows on many-kpc scales. Viable alternatives exist, however, and some brightness asymmetries of weak sources and geometrical asymmetries of strong sources are unlikely to be the results of bulk relativistic motions. There is little evidence that the outflows are strongly magnetized, and there is some evidence that they are not.
