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 کاملX-ray emission from the nuclei, lobes and hot-gas environments of two FR-II radio galaxies
We report the detection of multiple components of X-ray emission from the two FR-II radio galaxies 3C 223 and 3C 284, based on new XMM-Newton observations. We attribute the detected X-ray emission from the lobes of both sources to inverse-Compton scattering of cosmic microwave background photons. With this model, we find that the magnetic field strength in the lobes is at the equipartition valu...
متن کاملSpectral-ageing Analysis of Selected Distant Giant Radio Galaxies
Very deep 4.9GHz observations with the VLA are used to supplement available radio maps at the frequencies of 325MHz (WENSS survey) and 1.4GHz (NVSS survey) in order to study the synchrotron spectra and radiative ages of relativistic particles in the extended lobes of distant giant radio galaxies selected from the sample of Machalski et al. (2001).
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 کاملRadio spectral study of the cluster of galaxies Abell 2255
Context. Spectral index studies of halos, relics, and radio galaxies provide useful information on their origin and connection with merger processes. Aims. We present WSRT multi-wavelength observations of the galaxy cluster Abell 2255 at 25 cm, 85 cm, and 2 m. The spectral index images allowed us to study the integrated spectrum of halo and relic and to investigate the physical properties of th...
