Modeling The Power Evolution Of Classical Double Radio Galaxies Over Cosmological Scales, Paramita Barai Aug 2006

Modeling The Power Evolution Of Classical Double Radio Galaxies Over Cosmological Scales, Paramita Barai

Physics and Astronomy Dissertations

During the quasar era (redshifts between 1 and 3) Radio Galaxies (RGs) have been claimed to have substantially influenced the growth and evolution of large scale structures in the universe. In this dissertation I test the robustness of these exciting claims. In order to probe the impacts in more detail, good theoretical models for such RG systems are required. With this motivation, I seek to develop an essentially analytical model for the evolution of Fanaroff-Riley Class II radio galaxies both as they age individually and as their numbers vary with cosmological epoch. To do so, I first compare three sophisticated …
