abstract = {This Thesis is focussed on the study of relativistic jets, commonly present
in multiple astrophysical sites, from active galactic nuclei (AGN), to microquasars
or gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). In the case of AGN, huge amounts of
energy across the whole electromagnetic spectrum are released as a consequence
of the accretion of material onto a supermassive back hole (SMBH)
lurking at their centers. The accretion leads to the formation of a pair of
very powerful and highly collimated jets extending far beyond the size of
the host galaxy.
We analyzed the correlation between the multi-wavelength emission and
the radio jet in three powerful AGN, the radio galaxies 3C 120 and M 87,
and the quasar CTA 102. The main goal of this Thesis is to obtain a better
understanding of the jet dynamics and the role played by the magnetic field,
and to determine what are the sites and mechanisms for the production of
the ϒ-ray emission observed in these sources.},
