Abstract

It is now commonly accepted that enormous amounts of energy are generated in the nucleus of some giant elliptical galaxies and quasars. This energy in some form is transported non-isotropically, often well beyond the boundaries of the galaxy. The energy is then disrupted in radio lobes which are often dominated by several intense regions of radio emission.
