Magnetic Field Evolution in Black Hole Accretion Disks and Relativistic Jets

Supermassive black holes (SMBHs) catalyse change in their host galaxies, mediated through the inflow and subsequent outflow of material through the massive body. While an SMBH does not—indeed, cannot—hold its own magnetic field, the material it …

Probing Intracluster Gas with Faraday Rotation from Black Hole Jets

This thesis presents an analysis of the effectiveness of Faraday Rotation and its associated measures in helping to constrain the properties of observed AGN radio lobes and their surrounding environment. A study of Faraday Rotation through the …
