Looking Through Rainbow Coloured Glasses: Radio Spectral Variability and its Physical Origins by Ross, Kathryn

“…This thesis investigates supermassive black holes in the centres of galaxies producing large, mushroom shaped clouds up to millions of light years across. We focus on baby black holes, which are smaller than typical radio galaxies, often just tens of thousands of light years across. …”
