Life Cycles of Radio Galaxies

 

An International Workshop

July 15 - 17, 1999.

held at
Space Telescope Science Institute
Baltimore, MD, USA


 
SCIENTIFIC AIM
The aim of this meeting is to provide a forum for debate about the births, lives and deaths of radio galaxies and related objects, from both observational and theoretical viewpoints.
 
Keynote questions to be addressed:
  • What is different about the host galaxies (normal vs. active and radio-loud vs. radio quiet)? What does this tell us about the trigger mechanism?
  • Can we realistically model the development of Radio Galaxies over their lifetimes (e.g., how well do we know their environments; how does the "efficiency" evolve)? How can existing models be checked by observations?
  • What sets the limit on the ages of the Radio Galaxies that we see?
  • What is the relation between FR I and FR II radio galaxies?
  • What is the duty cycle of jet activity, and what do recurrent outbursts tell us about the AGN?

There will be ample opportunity for discussion.

ORGANIZING COMMITTEE
