The spectra and energies of classical double radio lobes

We compare two temporal properties of classical double radio sources: (1) radiative lifetimes of synchrotron-emitting particles and (2) dynamical source ages. We discuss how these can be quite discrepant from one another, rendering use of the traditional spectral aging method inappropriate: we conte...
