Cyclotron and Synchrotron Radiation. Charged particles are accelerated by B-fields ? radiation magnetobremsstrahlung". Cyclotron Radiation non-relativistic particles frequency of emission = frequency of gyration. Synchrotron Radiation relativistic particles frequency of emission from a single particle ? emission at a range of frequencies.

radio sources divide into
Fanaroff-Riley Class I, II
(Fanaroff & Riley 1974 MNRAS 167 31P)
FRI: Low luminosity
edge dark
Ex.:Cen-A
FRII: High luminosity
hot spots on outer edge
Ex. Cygnus A
