Description
Studies about active galactic nuclei (AGN) and radio jets of galaxies and blazars focus on seeking for the more acceptable physics, explaining energy jet formation, speeding up and collimation of these outflows. We review several articles on this subject to establish the unresolved matters about blazars and AGN in the already conducted studies. The challenge about the theories explaining the origin of ultra high energy cosmic rays (UHECR) is still there for the current day astronomers. The high energy generation and emission in the core of AGN depicts an accelerator that nature presents to us which we all seek to understand and cherish.
Key words: Galaxies, blazars, jets, cosmic rays
