Spectroscopy 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 کاملNear-infrared spectroscopy of powerful compact steep-spectrum radio sources
We have obtained near-infrared spectroscopy of a small sample of powerful Compact Steep-Spectrum (CSS) radio sources mainly, but not exclusively, from the 3CR sample. We find no differences between the distributions in the equivalent width and luminosity of the [Oiii]5007 line for our sample and other larger, presumably older, high-redshift 3C objects, suggesting that the underlying quasar lumi...
متن کاملGigahertz-Peaked Spectrum Radio Sources
The study of compact AGN which possess convex radio spectra (the gigahertz-peaked spectrum, or GPS sources) has generated a lot of interest over the last four decades, since these objects offer a unique opportunity to probe both the early evolutionary stages of relativistic AGN jets and their immediate nuclear environments. In this article I trace Ken Kellermann’s early investigations of these ...
متن کاملRadio spectra of Gigahertz Peaked Spectrum radio sources
Awell defined sample of 72 Gigahertz Peaked Spectrum radio sources is compiled, having turnover frequencies in the range of 0.5 – 10 GHz. Using this sample, the canonical GPS radio spectrum is constructed, which is found to have a constant shape, independent of AGN type, redshift or radio luminosity. A possible deficiency of low turnover frequencies at high redshift is found, which may reflect ...
متن کاملThe Identification of EGRET Sources with Flat-Spectrum Radio Sources
We present a method to assess the reliability of the identification of EGRET sources with extragalactic radio sources. We verify that EGRET is detecting the blazar class of AGN. However, many published identifications are found to be questionable. We provide a table of 42 blazars which we expect to be robust identifications of EGRET sources. This includes one previously unidentified EGRET sourc...
