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 کاملSynchrotron 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 کاملOn the redshift cut-off for steep-spectrum radio sources
We use three samples (3CRR, 6CE and 6C*) selected at low radio frequency to constrain the cosmic evolution in the radio luminosity function (RLF) for the ‘most luminous’ steep-spectrum radio sources. Although intrinsically rare, such sources give the largest possible baseline in redshift for the complete flux-density-limited samples currently available. Using parametric models to describe the R...
متن کاملUltra–Steep Spectrum Radio Galaxies at Hy Redshifts
Radio sources have traditionally provided convenient beacons for probing the early Universe. Hy Spinrad was among the first of the tenacious breed of observers who would attempt to obtain optical identifications and spectra of the faintest possible ‘radio galaxies’ to investigate the formation and evolution of galaxies at hy redshift. Modern telescopes and instruments have made these tasks much...
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...
