Uncovering High-z Clusters Using Wide-Angle Tailed Radio Sources
The morphologies of wide-angle tailed (WAT) radio sources (edge-darkened, C-shaped, FR I radio sources) are the result of confinement and distortion of the radio lobes by the dense X-ray-emitting gas in clusters or groups of galaxies. These radio sources are easily seen at high redshifts (z ∼ 1) in short-exposure images from the Faint Images of the Radio Sky at Twenty-cm (FIRST) survey. Using a...
متن کاملA Wide Angle Tail Radio Galaxy in the Cosmos Field: Evidence for Cluster Formation
We have identified a complex galaxy cluster system in the COSMOS field via a wide angle tail (WAT) radio galaxy consistent with the idea that WAT galaxies can be used as tracers of clusters. The WAT galaxy, CWAT-01, is coincident with an elliptical galaxy resolved in the HST-ACS image. Using the COSMOS multiwavelength data set, we derive the radio properties of CWAT-01 and use the optical and X...
متن کاملOn the jet speeds of classical double radio sources
A simple integral relation is obtained for the distribution functions of jet speeds and jet-counterjet flux asymmetries of classical double radio sources. Analytic expressions relating the mean jet speed and the mean jet flux asymmetry, and their variances are derived. The results are considered in the light of orientation-based unified schemes, and an analytical equation for the critical angle...
متن کاملJet propagation and the asymmetries of CSS radio sources
As Compact Steep Spectrum radio sources have been shown to be more asymmetrical than larger sources of similar powers, there is a high probability that they interact with an asymmetric medium in the central regions of the host elliptical galaxy. We consider a simple analytical model of the propagation of radio jets through a reasonable asymmetric environment and show that they can yield the ran...
متن کاملGMRT detection of a new wide - angle tail ( WAT ) radio source associated with the galaxy PGC 1519010
We report the serendipitous detection of a Wide-Angle-Tail (WAT) radio galaxy at 240 and 610 MHz, using the Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (GMRT). This WAT is hosted by a cD galaxy PGC 1519010 whose photometric redshift given in the SDSS DR6 catalog is close to the spectroscopic redshifts (0.105, 0.106 and 0.107) of three galaxies found within 4 ′ of the cD. Using the SDSS DR6 we have identifi...
