Abstract

In this work, we show the possibility that jet production by magnetization predominates over other mechanisms of jet production in radio sources with low power output. We obtain estimates of accretion induced magnetic field and jet-driving magnetic field of compact steep spectrum sources in our sample using analytical methods.A possible implication of the results obtained through simple linear regression analyses of the data estimated for the two aforementioned fields is that jet production by magnetization predominates in the CSS radio sources with lower power output; while in those with higher power output, the converse may be the case – some other processes,such as; hydrodynamic, thermal, and radiation pressures may predominate over jet magnetization.
