Abstract:
The aim of this communication is to emphasise the consistency between computer simulations of the interaction of plasma jet and the interstellar medium, with the observed X-ray emission. The recent studies has shown that the plasma that "flows" from a AGN (Active Galactic Nuclei) as collimated beams, exhibit some kind of terminal shocks (seen as "hot-spots"), producing so called a "cocoon", like an anvelope around the source. The dynamics of this particular flow, could be understand from the X-ray produced in this interaction. The numerical codes used, could reveal some of the aspects of this interactions.
