Abstract

It is shown that the twin exhaust model of Blandford and Rees (1974) can be adapted to describe quasars moving rapidly through the intergalactic medium. The ram pressure of the intergalactic medium acts in such a way as to stop the forward jet and allow only the single jet in the backward direction. The model appears to satisfy all the gasdynamic and observational constraints imposed on it and offers an explanation for the paucity of radio loud quasars, the existence of a single jet in quasars, and why nebulosity is expected around redshift quasars.
