| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We theoretically evaluate the evolution of the emission from both the lobe and the shell, which are composed of shocked jet matter (i.e., cocoon) and a shocked ambient medium (i.e., shell). Based on a simple dynamical model of expanding lobe and shell, we clarify how the broadband spectrum of each component evolves before and after the cessation of the jet activity. (i) As a result, overall emission from the shell overwhelms that from the lobe at a wide range of frequencies from radio up to gamma-ray soon after the jet activity has ceased. Our result predicts a new class of dead radio sources that are dominated by shell emission. (ii) We examine the plasma composition of relativistic jets in four Fanaroff-Riley type II (FRII) radio galaxies by analysing the total cocoon pressure in terms of partial pressures of thermal and non-thermal electrons/positrons and protons. We find that the positron-free plasma comprising protons and electrons is ruled out.
