  2. Introduction

  3. AGN Jets SMBH Lobe Relativistic jet (Γ~10) Cygnus A radio image for VLA(Image courtesy of NRAO) A lot of issues has not been clarified a few kpc ~ Mpc How collimate? How accelerate? ∼ 10 40 • Powerful energy emission ( erg/s) from very compact region • Radio to γ-ray emission ; Synchrotron + Inverse Compton • Collimated plasma flow with relativistic velocity

  4. Magnetically Driven Model ⇨magnetically driven model is a most likely model J.McKinney 2006 Important to estimate the magnetic field strength of the jet of pc or less scale for more realistic simulation 宇宙ジェットの磁気駆動モデルのコンピュータシミュレーション • Helical magnetic field・Synchrotron radiation・high speed jet (http://home.hiroshima-u.ac.jp/hasc/news/3c279/index.html , Shibata and Uchida 1986)

  5. Motivation Estimating physical parameters (especially the magnetic field) at the pc scale from the observation, constraining the theoretical model Magnetic field can not be measured directly . . . “ Core shift ” gives us indirect measurement of magnetic field
