Magnetic field strengths in the hotspots and lobes of three powerful FRII radio sources
We have made deep Chandra observations of three powerful FRII radio sources: two quasars (3C 263 and 3C 351) and one radio galaxy (3C 330). X-ray emission from hotspots and lobes, as well as from the active nucleus, is detected in each source. We model the hotspots' synchrotron spectra using VLA, BIMA and Hubble Space Telescope data. In 3C 263 and 3C 330, the hotspots' X-ray emission is at a le...
متن کاملUHECRs from the Radio Lobes of AGNs
We report a stochastic mechanism of particle acceleration from first principles in an environment having properties like those of Radio Lobes in AGNs. We show that energies ∼ 10 eV are reached in ∼ 10 years for protons. Our results reopen the question regarding the nature of the high-energy cutoff in the observed spectrum: whether it is due solely to propagation effects, or whether it is also a...
متن کاملStochastic particle acceleration in the lobes of giant radio galaxies
We investigate the acceleration of particles via the second-order Fermi process in the lobes of giant radio galaxies. Such sites are candidates for the accelerators of ultra-high energy cosmic rays. We focus on the nearby FR I radio galaxy Centaurus A. This is motivated by the coincidence of its position with the arrival direction of several of the highest energy Auger events. The conditions ne...
متن کاملOptical emission in the radio lobes of Cygnus A
Deep optical imaging and spectroscopy of stellar objects in the radio lobes of Cygnus A have been carried out. Brighter optical objects close to the radio hotspots are either confirmed or suspected Galactic stars. Very faint optical emission is found coinciding with hotspot D (R∼ 23.1) and hotspot B (V ∼ 25.4). The implications of these observations are discussed in the context of a double twin...
متن کاملBuoyant radio-lobes in a viscous intracluster medium
Ideal hydrodynamic models of the intracluster medium (ICM) in the core regions of galaxy clusters fail to explain both the observed temperature structure of this gas, and the observed morphology of radio-galaxy/ICM interactions. It has recently been suggested that, even in the presence of reasonable magnetic fields, thermal conduction in the ICM may be crucial for reproducing the temperature fl...
