UHECRs from the Radio Lobes of AGNs
We report a stochastic mechanism of particle acceleration from first principles in an environment having properties like those of Radio Lobes in AGNs. We show that energies ∼ 10 eV are reached in ∼ 10 years for protons. Our results reopen the question regarding the nature of the high-energy cutoff in the observed spectrum: whether it is due solely to propagation effects, or whether it is also a...
متن کاملThe synchrotron spectra of radio hot spots
We present infrared imaging of a sample of 11 hot spots in the lobes of powerful radio galaxies. We have detected infrared counterparts to the hot spots in 3C 20West, 3C 33 South, 3C 111East and 3C 303West all of which have known optical counterparts as well. In addition, we detected the radio jet of 3C 303 in the near infrared. Four other hot spots, those in 3C 20East, 3C 65 (both sides), and ...
متن کاملStochastic particle acceleration in the lobes of giant radio galaxies
We investigate the acceleration of particles via the second-order Fermi process in the lobes of giant radio galaxies. Such sites are candidates for the accelerators of ultra-high energy cosmic rays. We focus on the nearby FR I radio galaxy Centaurus A. This is motivated by the coincidence of its position with the arrival direction of several of the highest energy Auger events. The conditions ne...
متن کاملThe Spectra and Energies of Classical Double Radio Lobes
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 be quite discrepant from one another, rendering use of the traditional spectral aging method inappropriate : we contend that spectral ages give meaningful estimates of dynamical ages only when these ages are >107...
متن کاملOptical emission in the radio lobes of Cygnus A
Deep optical imaging and spectroscopy of stellar objects in the radio lobes of Cygnus A have been carried out. Brighter optical objects close to the radio hotspots are either confirmed or suspected Galactic stars. Very faint optical emission is found coinciding with hotspot D (R∼ 23.1) and hotspot B (V ∼ 25.4). The implications of these observations are discussed in the context of a double twin...
