Scientific paper

The possibility is addressed of collimation arising from anisotropic synchrotron absorption whereby electromagnetic waves are less strongly absorbed when propagating parallel, rather than perpendicular, to a magnetic field. This has particular application to the collimation of infrared/optical/ultraviolet radiation in active galactic nuclei. The beams may also drive double radio sources.
