Jet-induced star formation: Good news from big, bad black holes
Abstract
We discuss obbservations and numerical simulations which show that radiative shocks in jet-cloud collisions can trigger the collapse of intergalactic clouds and subsequent star formation in low luminosity, "FR-I" type, radio galaxies.
