The HST view of the FR I / FR II dichotomy ⋆
In order to explore how the FR I / FR II dichotomy is related to the nuclear properties of radio galaxies, we studied a complete sample of 26 nearby FR II radio galaxies using Hubble Space Telescope (HST) images and compared them with a sample of FR I previously analyzed. FR I nuclei lie in the radio-optical luminosity plane along a tight linear correlation, which argues for a common synchrotro...
متن کاملN ov 2 00 2 A single population scheme for FR I and FR II radio sources
The presence of two distant FR I radio galaxies in the Hubble Deep Field plus Flanking Fields indicates that the number density of these objects is about 10−50 times higher at z>1 than in the local universe. This is in strong contrast with the idea that FR Is undergo no cosmological evolution. We advocate that the cosmological evolution of radio sources may be independent of FR class, and inste...
متن کاملLuminosity function, sizes and FR dichotomy of radio-loud AGN
The radio luminosity function (RLF) of radio galaxies and radio-loud quasars is often modelled as a broken power-law. The break luminosity is close to the dividing line between the two Fanaroff-Riley (FR) morphological classes for the large-scale radio structure of these objects. We use an analytical model for the luminosity and size evolution of FRII-type objects together with a simple prescri...
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 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...
