24 T=108Myr T=228Myr

25 T=348My r T=528Mry

26 T=648Myr T=768Myr

29 Summary  Jets/lobes as magnetically dominated system with large current  “Flaring”/Lobe formation related to background ICM pressure profile (coupled with 3D MHD instability)  Lobe size determined by balance between external pressure and total current  Magnetic energy is gradually converted to thermal and kinetic energies of the jet/lobes  Morphology of jet/lobe is heavily influenced by background ICM dynamics, though magnetic fields crucial in maintaining the integrity of jets/lobes  Relic evolution, leading to magnetization of ICM/IGM
