AGN Jets from Formation to Dissipation
Abstract
Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) are among the most energetic phenomena in the Universe, capable of launching powerful relativistic jets that extend from sub-parsec to megaparsec scales. These jets play a crucial role in regulating star formation, redistributing energy and matter, and shaping the evolution of galaxies and their environments. Despite decades of study, a comprehensive understanding of how AGN jets form, propagate, and dissipate remains elusive. The aim of this chapter is to highlight how the future capabilities of the the Square Kilometre Array (SKA), as a standalone array as well as in combination with Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) arrays and multi-wavelength facilities, will transform our capabilities to study the co-evolution of AGN jets and their host galaxies from jet formation to dissipation scales.
