Query: Breaking degeneracy in jet dynamics: multi-epoch joint modelling of the
  BL Lac PKS 2155-304   Supermassive black holes can launch powerful jets which can be some of the
most luminous multi-wavelength sources; decades after their discovery their
physics and energetics are still poorly understood. The past decade has seen a
dramatic improvement in the quality of available data, but despite this
improvement the semi-analytical modelling of jets has advanced slowly: simple
one-zone models are still the most commonly employed method of interpreting
data, in particular for AGN jets. These models can roughly constrain the
properties of jets but they cannot unambiguously couple their emission to the
launching regions and internal dynamics, which can be probed with simulations.
However, simulations are not easily comparable to observations because they
cannot yet self-consistently predict spectra. We present an advanced
semi-analytical model which accounts for the dynamics of the whole jet,
starting from a simplified parametrization of Relativistic Magnetohydrodynamics
in which the magnetic flux is converted into bulk kinetic energy. To benchmark
the model we fit six quasisimultaneous, multi-wavelength spectral energy
distributions of the BL Lac PKS 2155-304 obtained by the TANAMI program, and we
address the degeneracies inherent to such a complex model by employing a
state-of-the-art exploration of parameter space, which so far has been mostly
neglected in the study of AGN jets. We find that this new approach is much more
effective than a single-epoch fit in providing meaningful constraints on model
parameters.
