The host galaxies of Compact Steep Spectrum and Gigahertz-Peaked Spectrum radio sources
نویسنده
چکیده
I will review some of the developments in studies of the host galaxy properties of Compact Steep Spectrum (CSS) and GigaHertz-Peaked Spectrum (GPS) radio sources. In contrast to previous reviews structured around observational technique, I will discuss the host galaxy properties in terms of morphology, stellar content and warm gas properties and discuss how compact, young radio-loud AGN are key objects for understanding galaxy evolution.

An unbiased sample of bright southern Compact Steep Spectrum and Gigahertz Peaked Spectrum Sources
Compact Steep Spectrum (CSS) and Gigahertz Peaked Spectrum (GPS) sources are classes of compact, powerful, extragalactic objects. These sources are thought to be the earliest stages in the evolution of radio galaxies, capturing the ignition (or, in some cases, re-ignition) of the AGN. As well as serving as probes of the early stages of large-scale radio sources, these sources are good, stable, ...
متن کاملHST/NICMOS Observations of the Host Galaxies of Powerful Radio Sources: Does Size Matter?
We present near-infrared J and K band imaging of a sample of powerful radio source host galaxies with the Hubble Space Telescope NICMOS2 camera. These sources have been selected on their double lobed radio structure, and include a wide range of projected radio source sizes. The largest projected linear sizes range from the compact Gigahertz Peaked Spectrum (GPS, < 1 kpc) and Compact Steep Spect...
متن کاملOptical spectroscopy of faint gigahertz peaked spectrum sources
We present spectroscopic observations of a sample of faint Gigahertz Peaked Spectrum (GPS) radio sources drawn from the Westerbork Northern Sky Survey (WENSS). Redshifts have been determined for 19 (40%) of the objects. The optical spectra of the GPS sources identified with low redshift galaxies show deep stellar absorption features. This confirms previous suggestions that their optical light i...
متن کاملOn the lives of extra-galactic radio sources: the first 100,000 years
In this paper we discuss the early phase of radio source evolution as represented by Gigahertz Peaked Spectrum (GPS) and Compact Steep Spectrum (CSS) radio sources. Correlations between their spectral peak and angular size strongly suggest that the spectral turnovers are caused by synchrotron self absorption, and indicate that young radio sources evolve in a self similar way. We argue that the ...
