Description
After the detection of the 10 kpc diameter high-energy lobes above and below the Milky Way, the Milky Way's jets have recently been directly seen in Gamma rays, X-rays and in the radio band. I will report our recent simulations on the interactions of jets with the hot gas, which leads to collimation and determines the kpc-scale morphology, and also with molecular clouds close to the Galactic centre, which may lead to the formation of high velocity stars. The latter might be related to the enrichment of the intergalactic medium in general. I will discuss our results in the context of the Milky Way and external low power radio sources in particular in spiral galaxies.
