Radio and optical orientations of galaxies
We investigate the correlations between optical and radio isophotal position angles for 14302 SDSS galaxies with r magnitudes brighter than 18 and which have been associated with extended FIRST radio sources. We identify two separate populations of galaxies using the colour, concentration and their principal components. Surprisingly strong statistical alignments are found: late-type galaxies ar...
متن کاملThe Large-Scale Orientations of Disk Galaxies
We use a 380-h-1 pc resolution hydrodynamic adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) simulation of a cosmic filament to investigate the orientations of a sample of 100 well-resolved galactic discs spanning two orders of magnitude in both stellar and halo mass. We find: (i) at z = 0, there is an almost perfect alignment at a median angle of 18°, in the inner dark matter halo regions where the discs reside...
متن کاملRadio Detection of Radio-quiet Galaxies
We investigate the radio emission of ∼ 185,000 quiescent (optically unclassifiable) galaxies selected from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). By median-stacking FIRST cutouts centered on the optically-selected sources, we are able to reach flux densities down to the 10s of μJy. The quiescent galaxy sample is composed of two subgroups inhabiting vastly different regimes: those targeted for the...
متن کاملGiant Radio Galaxies
Giant radio galaxies (GRGs) are the largest structures associated with single galaxies. Their linear sizes exceed 1 Mpc and so they form the extreme tail of the radio galaxy population. Because they have expanded to such large sizes, GRGs are thought to be the endpoint of radio galaxy evolution and provide important constraints to evolutionary models. They extend well past the environment of th...
متن کاملExtremely Red Radio Galaxies
At least half the radio galaxies at z > 1 in the 7C Redshift Survey have extremely red colours (R−K > 5), consistent with stellar populations which formed at high redshift (z ∼ 5). We discuss the implications of this for the evolution of massive galaxies in general and for the fraction of near-IR-selected EROs which host AGN, a result which is now being tested by deep, hard X-ray surveys. The c...
