Decelerating relativistic radio jets in B2 0755+379

We apply a model for an adiabatically expanding relativistic jet to the radio galaxy B2 0755+379 using the observed surface brightness and jet width obtained from VLA and MERLIN radio images. We derive velocity profiles along the main jet for various assumed starting conditions, and show that these...
