Abstract
ZRadio jets occur in sources with a wide range of radio luminosities, and in 70% to 80% of nearby radio galaxies. There may be two basic types of large-scale (>1 kpc) jet — B // -dominated one-sided jets in sources with luminous radio cores, and B / -dominated two-sided jets in sources with weak radio cores. The large-scale jets that have been observed at high linear resolution are well collimated within a few kpc of their cores, then flare and recollimate further out. Their brightness-radius evolution is often “subadiabatic”.
