Spectral ageing in the lobes of cluster-centre FR-II radio galaxies
Recent investigations have shown that many parameters and assumptions made in the application of spectral ageing models to FR-II radio galaxies (e.g. injection index, uniform magnetic field, non-negligible cross-lobe age variations) may not be as reliable as previously thought. In this paper we use new VLA observations, which allow spectral curvature at GHz frequencies to be determined in much ...
متن کاملThe dividing line between FR I and FR II radio–galaxies
In the radio – host galaxy optical luminosity plane FR I and FR II radio–galaxies are clearly divided. Since the optical luminosity of an elliptical galaxy is an indication of the mass of its central black hole, we propose that the FR I–FR II dividing luminosity is a function of the mass of the black hole powering the active nucleus. Furthermore, as the radio power gives an estimate of the tota...
متن کاملJet/environment Interactions of Fr-i and Fr-ii Radio Galaxies
We present the results of new XMM observations of FR-I and FR-II radio galaxies that show the importance of jet/environment interactions for both radiosource structure and the properties of the surrounding gas. The FR-I observations reveal that the distribution of hot gas determines the radio-lobe morphology, and provide evidence that the subsonic expansion of the lobes heats the surrounding ga...
متن کاملFR II radio galaxies with z < 0 . 3 – II . Beaming and unification
In a previous paper we presented measurements of the properties of jets and cores in a large sample of FRII radio galaxies with z < 0.3. Here we test, by means of Monte Carlo simulations, the consistency of those data with models in which the prominences of cores and jets are determined by relativistic beaming. We conclude that relativistic beaming is needed to explain the relationships between...
متن کاملThe nuclear radio – optical properties of intermediate redshift FR II radio galaxies and quasars ⋆
We extend the study of the nuclei of 3CR objects as seen with the HST to higher redshift FR II radio sources (0.4 < z < 0.6). Our results reflect what has been found for FR II of lower redshift. The position of the nuclei on the plane formed by optical and radio luminosities is related to their optical spectral classification: the nuclei of both high and low excitation galaxies lie on the corre...
