Description

Radio galaxy jets that undergo continuous precession trace an unique “S-shaped” pattern in the plane of the sky. Such galaxies hint at a more restless nature of the central AGN and studying them can help us gain rare cues about the dynamic interplay between radio jets, the central active region, and the intergalactic medium. Multifrequency radio studies of such jets can help understand their morphological evolution and can reveal the underlying cause of the jet precession. When complemented with multiwavelegth data, such galaxies can help towards deeper understanding of SMBH-galaxy co-evolution. In this talk, I will present multifrequency radio analysis of an S-shaped quasar with precessing jets and discuss its evolution.
