Abstract

A model of quasars and radio galaxies and their associated jets is further elaborated here. The model, presented in Part I of this paper, is based on magnetic selfcompression as the process involved in producing extremely high energy densities. In the present paper, the results derived in Part I are used to predict radiation spectra from quasars, and to extend the model to radio galaxies. The role of magnetic self-compression of magnetic vortices in the origin of filamentary superclusters of galaxies is briefly discussed.
