| Description: | The origins and widespread impact of megaparsec-scale jets on the Cosmic Web
When the launching of powerful supermassive black hole jets persists over megayears, these flows become the largest galaxy-made structures in the Universe, attaining multi-megaparsec extents. By pumping thermal, magnetic, and cosmic ray energy far beyond galactic borders, megajets affect the distribution of matter and magnetism in the Cosmic Web. Over the last years, thanks to sensitivity gains of large-scale radio surveys, such as LoTSS, it has become clear that megajets --- generally thought to be rare and cosmologically insignificant only years ago --- are not only common, but possibly the dominant source of black hole feedback to the Cosmic Web. |
