The 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 کاملJet/environment Interactions of Fr-i and Fr-ii Radio Galaxies
We present the results of new XMM observations of FR-I and FR-II radio galaxies that show the importance of jet/environment interactions for both radiosource structure and the properties of the surrounding gas. The FR-I observations reveal that the distribution of hot gas determines the radio-lobe morphology, and provide evidence that the subsonic expansion of the lobes heats the surrounding ga...
متن کاملThe physics of jets in FR I radio galaxies
We model jets in low-luminosity (FR I) radio galaxies as intrinsically symmetrical, axisymmetric, decelerating relativistic flows with transverse velocity gradients. This allows us to derive velocity fields and the three-dimensional distributions of magneticfield ordering and rest-frame emissivity. A conservation-law analysis, combining the kinematic model with X-ray observations of the surroun...
متن کاملThe Parsec-scale Central Components of Fr I Radio Galaxies
A majority of a complete sample of 3CR FR I radio galaxies show unresolved optical nuclear sources on the scales of 0.1. About half of the 3CR FR II radio galaxies observed with the HST also show Compact Central Cores (CCC). These CCCs have been interpreted as the optical counterparts of the non-thermal radio cores in these radio galaxies (Chiaberge, Capetti, & Celotti 1999). We show that the o...
متن کاملH2O megamaser emission from FR I radio galaxies
A systematic search for 22 GHz H2O megamaser emission is reported for 50 nearby (z <∼ 0.15) FR I galaxies. No detection was obtained, implying that ultraluminous H2O masers (LH2O > 10 3 L ) must be rare in early-type galaxies with FR I radio morphology. Despite higher radio core luminosities the detection rate for our sample is lower than in similar surveys of late-type Seyfert galaxies. This p...
