Figure 18: Snapshots of the logarithm of
the density (normalized to the density of the ambient medium) for a cold baryonic (top panel), a cold
leptonic (central panel) and a hot leptonic (bottom panel) relativistic jet at , respectively
(from Scheck et al. [255]). The black
lines are iso-contours of the beam
mass fraction with (outermost) and (innermost). These values correspond to the boundaries of the cocoon
and the beam, respectively. The time evolution of the hot leptonic model is shown in the MPEG movie
in Figure 19.
