It qualifies as a fat double because it has no true hotspots; but the bright diffuse component at the end of the south lobe makes it unusual for this class (and it is also the most luminous fat double known). The identification does not sit, as expected, between the two lobes but is in the middle of the south lobe, between the two brighter patches (which are too diffuse to be called jets). There is no radio core, and because of the peculiar position of the identification, there is some doubt as to whether it is correct. A possible interpretation is that this is a DRAGN whose AGN has just died, and the southern hotspot has been caught in the act of expanding into the lobe, now that the jet has been cut off. Unfortunately, this explains neither the asymmetry of the lobes nor the position of the galaxy. Prev.

The radio core is the peak underneath the cross; close examination of this image suggests that it is extended towards the south. Probably this is caused by emission from the beginning of a jet. The radio structure is relatively small (similar in scale to the host galaxy); in other respects this is a typical classical double.

We combine our results with those from mid-infrared, optical emission-line and radio observations, and add them to those of the 3CRR sources. We show that the low-excitation objects in our samples show signs of radiatively inefficient accretion. We study the effect of the jet-related emission on the various luminosities, confirming that it is the main source of soft X-ray emission for our sources.

  • Jet-Induced Star Formation in 3C 285 and Minkowski's Object⋆
    A&A 574, A34 (2015) Astronomy DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/201424932 & c ESO 2015 Astrophysics Jet-induced star formation in 3C 285 and Minkowski’s Object? Q. Salomé, P. Salomé, and F. Combes LERMA, Observatoire de Paris, CNRS UMR 8112, 61 avenue de l’Observatoire, 75014 Paris, France e-mail: [email protected] Received 5 September 2014 / Accepted 6 November 2014 ABSTRACT How efficiently star formation proceeds in galaxies is still an open question. Recent studies suggest that active galactic nucleus (AGN) can regulate the gas accretion and thus slow down star formation (negative feedback). However, evidence of AGN positive feedback has also been observed in a few radio galaxies (e.g. Centaurus A, Minkowski’s Object, 3C 285, and the higher redshift 4C 41.17). Here we present CO observations of 3C 285 and Minkowski’s Object, which are examples of jet-induced star formation. A spot (named 3C 285/09.6 in the present paper) aligned with the 3C 285 radio jet at a projected distance of ∼70 kpc from the galaxy centre shows star formation that is detected in optical emission. Minkowski’s Object is located along the jet of NGC 541 and also shows star formation. Knowing the distribution of molecular gas along the jets is a way to study the physical processes at play in the AGN interaction with the intergalactic medium. We observed CO lines in 3C 285, NGC 541, 3C 285/09.6, and Minkowski’s Object with the IRAM 30 m telescope. In the central galaxies, the spectra present a double-horn profile, typical of a rotation pattern, from which we are able to estimate the molecular gas density profile of the galaxy.

  • The X-Ray Nuclei of Intermediate-Redshift Radio Sources
    Mon. Not. R. Astron. Soc. 000, 000–000 (0000) Printed 18 April 2018 (MN LATEX style file v2.2) The X-ray nuclei of intermediate-redshift radio sources M.J. Hardcastle1, D.A. Evans2 and J.H. Croston1 1 School of Physics, Astronomy and Mathematics, University of Hertfordshire, College Lane, Hatfield, Hertfordshire AL10 9AB 2 Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, 60 Garden Street, Cambridge, MA 02138, USA 18 April 2018 ABSTRACT We present a Chandra and XMM-Newton spectral analysis of the nuclei of the radio galax- ies and radio-loud quasars from the 3CRR sample in the redshift range 0.1 <z< 0.5. In the range of radio luminosity sampled by these objects, mostly FRIIs, it has been clear for some time that a population of radio galaxies (‘low-excitation radio galaxies’) cannot easily participate in models that unify narrow-line radio galaxies and broad-line objects. We show that low-excitation and narrow-line radio galaxies have systematically different nuclear X- ray properties: while narrow-line radio galaxies universally show a heavily absorbed nuclear X-ray component, such a heavily absorbed component is rarely found in sources classed as low-excitation objects. Combining our data with the results of our earlier work on the z < 0.1 3CRR sources, we discuss the implications of this result for unified models, for the origins of mid-infrared emission from radio sources, and for the nature of the apparent FRI/FRII di- chotomyin the X-ray. The lack of direct evidence for accretion-related X-ray emission in FRII LERGs leads us to argue that there is a strong possibility that some, or most, FRII LERGs ac- crete in a radiatively inefficient mode.

Compact steep-spectrum radio sources and giga-hertz peaked spectrum radio sources (CSS/GPS) are generally considered to be mostly young radio sources. In recent years we studied at many wavelengths a sample of these objects selected from the B3-VLA catalog: the B3-VLA CSS sample. Only ≈60% of the sources were optically identified. Aims. We aim to increase the number of optical identifications and study the properties of the host galaxies of young radio sources. Methods. We cross-correlated the CSS B3-VLA sample with the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS), DR7, and complemented the SDSS photometry with available GALEX (DR 4/5 and 6) and near-IR data from UKIRT and 2MASS. Results. We obtained new identifications and photometric redshifts for eight faint galaxies and for one quasar and two quasar candi- dates. Overall we have 27 galaxies with SDSS photometry in five bands, for which we derived the ultraviolet-optical spectral energy distribution (UV-O-SED). We extended our investigation to additional CSS/GPS selected from the literature.

Cocchia 1INAF - Osservatorio Astronomico di Roma - Via di Frascati, 33 I-00040 Monteporzio Catone (Rome), Italy email: [email protected] Abstract. We present a statistical analysis of the Chandra observation of the source field around the 3C 295 galaxy cluster (z =0.46). Three different methods of analysis, namely a chip by chip LogN-LogS, a two-dimentional Kolmogorov-Smirnov (KS) test, and the angular correlation function (ACF) show a strong overdensity of sources in the North-East of the field, that may indicate a filament of the large scale structure of the universe towards 3C 295. 1. Introduction N-body and hydrodynamical simulations show that high redshift clusters of galaxies lie at the nexus of several filaments of galaxies (see e.g. Peacock 1999). Such filaments map out the “cosmic web” of voids and filaments of the large scale structure of the universe. Thus, rich clusters represent good indicators of regions of sky where several filaments converge. The filaments themselves could be mapped out by Active Galactic Nuclei (AGNs), assuming that AGNs trace galaxies. Cappi et al. (2001) studied the distribution of the X-ray sources around 3C 295 (z = 0.46). The cluster was observed with the ACIS-S CCD array for a short exposure time (18 ks).

I used X-ray ob- servations of the galaxy clusters hosting the radio galaxies to characterise the properties of the environments and compared them with the low-frequency radio properties of the AGN.

  • Broadband Spectral Modelling of Bent Jets of Active Galactic Nuclei Arxiv
    Broadband spectral modelling of bent jets of Active Galactic Nuclei A Thesis submitted to the University of Mumbai for the Ph. D. (SCIENCE) Degree in PHYSICS Submitted By B. Sunder Sahayanathan Under the Guidance of Dr. A. K. Mitra Astrophysical Sciences Division arXiv:1109.0618v2 [astro-ph.HE] 7 Sep 2011 Bhabha Atomic Research Centre Trombay, Mumbai - 400085 October 2010 In memory of my beloved grandma Josephine... Abstract The understanding of the physics of relativistic jets from active galactic nuclei (AGN) is still incomplete. A way to understand the different features of the AGN jets is to study it broadband spectra. In general, within the limits of present observations, AGN jets are observed in radio-to-X-ray energy band and they exhibit various intrinsic features such as knots. Particularly, the blazar jets which are pointed towards the observer, are observed in radio-to-γ-ray and their radio maps exhibit internal jet structures. Moreover, the high energy emission from blazars show rapid variability. In this thesis, models have been developed to study the radiation emission processes from the knots of AGN jets as well as for blazar jets. A continuous injection plasma model is devel- oped to study the X-ray emission from the knots of sources 1136-135, 1150+497, 1354+195 and 3C 371. The knot dynamics is then studied within the framework of internal shock model. In such a scenario, knots are formed due to the collision of two successive matter blobs emitted sporadically from the central engine of AGN. Shocks, generated in such col- lisions, accelerate electrons to relativistic energies.

Bianchi 46, 23807 Merate, Italy 8 INFN − Sezione di Trieste, via Valerio 2, 34127 Trieste, Italy Received 14 October 2013 / Accepted 30 October 2013 ABSTRACT We explore the implications of our optical spectroscopic survey of 3CR radio sources with z < 0.3 for the unified model (UM) for radio-loud AGN, focusing on objects with a “edge-brightened” (FR II) radio morphology. The sample contains 33 high ionization galaxies (HIGs) and 18 broad line objects (BLOs). According to the UM, HIGs, the narrow line sources, are the nuclearly obscured counterparts of BLOs. The fraction of HIGs indicates a covering factor of the circumnuclear matter of 65% that corresponds, adopting a torus geometry, to an opening angle of 50◦ ± 5.
