Today's colloquium: Knottiness of X-ray jets: testing the obstacle-in-jet model

Submitter: Sarka Wykes
Description: Light jet interacting with a 3 Gyr AGB star at its highest mass-loss rate. The jet plasma is flowing in from the left. The wake shows von Karman-like vortices, which in three dimensions would evolve into downstream turbulence.
