Synchrotron Spectra and Ages of Compact Steep Spectrum Radio Sources
The high-frequency integrated spectra of Compact Steep Spectrum (CSS) sources show breaks with a moderate spectral steepening well fitted by continuous injection synchrotron spectra. In lobe-dominated CSS sources the radiative ages deduced by the synchrotron theory are in the range of up to 10 years, if equipartition magnetic fields are assumed. These radiative ages are well correlated with the...
متن کاملSpectroscopy of Ultra Steep Spectrum Radio Sources
We present optical spectroscopy of 62 objects selected from several samples of ultra steep spectrum (USS) radio sources. 46 of these are from our primary catalog, consisting of 669 sources with radio spectral indices α < −1.30 (Sν ∝ ν); this first spectroscopic sub-sample was selected on the basis of their faint optical and near-IR identifications. Most are identified as narrow-lined radio gala...
متن کاملNew candidate GHz Peaked Spectrum and Compact Steep Spectrum Sources
Data from a recent Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA) program of multi-frequency, multi-epoch monitoring of 202 active galactic nuclei with declinations < +10 • have been searched for GHz Peaked Spectrum (GPS) and Compact Steep Spectrum (CSS) radio sources. Supplementary data at higher and lower frequencies, where available, have been used to further examine the spectral properties of pre...
متن کاملOn “box” models of shock acceleration and electron synchrotron spectra
The recent detection of high energy γ-rays coming from supernova remnants and active galactic nuclei has revived interest in the diffusive shock acceleration of electrons. In the present paper we examine the basis of the so-called “box” model for particle acceleration and present a more physical version of it. Using this we determine simple criteria for the conditions under which “pile-ups” can...
متن کاملCompact steep-spectrum sources and the unified scheme.
The compact steep-spectrum sources (CSSs) are an interesting class of objects which are of subgalactic dimensions; they occur more frequently in high-frequency surveys because their spectra often turn over at lower frequencies. We have estimated the symmetry parameters of a well-defined sample of CSSs and compared these with the larger 3CR sources of similar luminosity to understand the evoluti...
