X - ray properties of head - tail radio sources in clusters of galaxies
From ROSAT imaging data we have detections and upper limits for a sample of 26 tailed radio sources in clusters of galaxies mostly from the sample of O’Dea & Owen (1985). All sixteen of the detected sources are unresolved in the ROSAT PSPC images. The sources bright enough to perform X-ray spectral analysis have power-law indices similar to BL Lacs and Seyfert galaxies. We find that there is a ...
متن کاملHost Galaxies of X-shaped Radio Sources
Most radiation from galaxies containing active galactic nuclei (AGNs) is emitted not by the stars composing the galaxy, but from an active source at the galactic center, most likely a supermassive black hole. Of particular interest are radio galaxies, active galaxies that emit much of their radiation at radio wavelengths. Within each radio galaxy, an AGN powers a pair of collimated jets of rela...
متن کاملX-ray observations of Clusters of Galaxies
In the standard CDM (Cold Dark Matter) cosmological scenario, initial density fluctuations, generated in the early Universe, grow under the influence of gravity. The Universe gets more and more structured with time. At large scale, the matter density distribution exhibits a web-like topology with expanding voids surrounded by contracting sheets and filaments. Massive clusters of galaxies, locat...
متن کاملUltraluminous X-ray Sources in Interacting Galaxies
I give a brief review of how X-rays from nearby galaxies are used as direct tracers of recent star formation. This leads to the conclusion that it is the most luminous point-like sources that are associated with star formation and that the majority of these are high-mass X-ray binaries. I then discuss a recent study that shows that ULXs are preferentially found in regions as young as or younger...
متن کاملUltraluminous X–ray Sources in External Galaxies
We investigate models for the class of ultraluminous non–nuclear X–ray sources (ULXs) seen in a number of galaxies and probably associated with star–forming regions. Models where the X–ray emission is assumed to be isotropic run into several difficulties. In particular formation of sufficient numbers of the required ultramassive black–hole X–ray binaries is problematic, and the likely transient...
