Keywords: galaxies: jets - MHD - radiation mechanisms: non-thermal
Abstract:
We investigate how the total radio luminosity of AGN-powered radio
sources depends on their accretion luminosity and the central black
hole mass. Our studies cover about 7 orders of magnitude in accretion
luminosity (expressed in Eddington units, i.e., as Eddington ratios)
and the full range of AGN black hole masses.

Global Notes:
Note (G1): the radio loudness is defined as the ratio of spectral
luminosities between radio and optical, R=LR(ν)/LB(ν),
or from the ratio of luminosities: 1.36x105(LR/LB)
