Scientific paper

Numerical simulations of high-energy radio jets passing through a dense protogalactic gas have been performed, with subsequent cooling and collapse to star formation. The resulting distribution of stars is elongated along the axis of the radio source but is also always highly limb-brightened in the direction normal to the radio axis. With a star-formation efficiency of 10 percent, simulations for different jet velocities, densities, and star-formation thresholds show that about 10 to the 10th solar masses of stars can be formed by this process over 100 Myr.
