Archaeology of active galaxies across the electromagnetic spectrum

R Morganti - Nature Astronomy, 2017 - nature.com
Analytical and numerical galaxy-formation models indicate that active galactic nuclei (AGNs)
likely play a prominent role in the formation and evolution of galaxies. However, quantifying …

classical double radio sources, from three complete samples selected at successively fainter …

Decoding the giant extragalactic radio sources

P Dabhade, DJ Saikia, M Mahato - Journal of Astrophysics and Astronomy, 2023 - Springer
Giant radio sources (GRSs) defined to be> 0.7 Mpc are the largest single objects in the
Universe and can be associated with both galaxies (GRGs) and quasars (GRQs). They are …

First detection of hotspot advance in a compact symmetric object. evidence for a class of very young extragalactic radio source

I Owsianik, JE Conway - Arxiv preprint astro-ph/9712062, 1997 - arxiv.org

The alignment of disk and black hole spins in active galactic nuclei

P Natarajan, JE Pringle - The Astrophysical Journal, 1998 - iopscience.iop.org
The inner parts of an accretion disk around a spinning black hole are forced to align with the
spin of the hole by the Bardeen-Petterson effect. Assuming that any jet produced by such a …

Highly ordered magnetic fields in the tail of the jellyfish galaxy JO206

A Müller, BM Poggianti, C Pfrommer, B Adebahr… - Nature …, 2021 - nature.com
Jellyfish galaxies have long tails of gas that is stripped from the disk by ram pressure due to
the motion of galaxies in the intracluster medium in galaxy clusters. Here, we present the …

The spectra and energies of classical double radio lobes

KM Blundell, S Rawlings - The Astronomical Journal, 2000 - iopscience.iop.org
We compare two temporal properties of classical double radio sources:(1) radiative lifetimes
of synchrotron-emitting particles and (2) dynamical source ages. We discuss how these can …
