This research is aimed at an understanding of the relationship between active galactic nuclei (AGN) and giant radio galaxies, the largest known connected objects in the universe. The variability observed in the radiation of AGN is believed to be related to gas flows into supermassive black holed, and radio galaxies are observed to be fed by jets which emanate from AGN. Utilizing hydrodynamic codes on supercomputers, jet propagation through galactic and extragalactic media will be studied.

本研究旨在了解 活动星系核（AGN）和巨型射电星系之间的联系， 宇宙中已知最大的连通物体。 的变异性 在活动星系核辐射中观察到的辐射被认为与气体有关 流入超大质量黑洞，射电星系 被观测到是由活动星系核发出的喷流供给的。 利用 超级计算机上的流体动力学代码， 将研究银河系和河外介质。
