First Results of the 74 MHz VLA-Pie Town Link. Hercules A at Low Frequencies
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present the results of the first successful observations of the Pie Town link with the Very Large Array (VLA) at 74 MHz on Hercules A. The improvement in resolution from 25 arcsec to 10 arcsec resolves the helicaland ring-like features seen at higher frequencies. We also present new high dynamic range images of this powerful radio galaxy at 325 MHz. Our low frequency observations confirm the multiple outburst interpretation of the spectral index differences at high frequencies. Comparison between our radio and ROSAT X-ray data does not reveal any association between the X-ray emission from the cluster and the radio lobes. There are no extra regions of radio emission at 74 MHz.

The low frequency radio emission and spectrum of the extended SNR W 44 : new VLA observations at 74 and 324 MHz
Aims. We present new Very Large Array (VLA) radio images at 74 and 324 MHz of the SNR W44. The VLA images, obtained with unprecedented angular resolution and sensitivity for such low frequencies have been used in combination with existing 1442 MHz radio data, Spitzer IR data, and ROSAT and Chandra X-ray data to investigate morphological and spectral continuum properties of this SNR. Methods. Th...
متن کاملLow Frequency VLA Observations of Abell 754: Evidence for a Cluster Radio Halo and Possible Radio Relics
We present 74 MHz and 330 MHz VLA observations of Abell 754. Diffuse, halo-like emission is detected from the center of the cluster at both frequencies. At 330 MHz the resolution of 90 distinguishes this extended emission from previously known point sources. In addition to the halo and at a much lower level, outlying steep-spectrum emission regions straddle the cluster center and are seen only ...
متن کاملDiscrete H II Absorption Regions Towards The Inner
At low radio frequencies (ν . 100 MHz), classical H II regions may become optically thick (optical depth τ ≥ 1) and can be observed as discrete absorption regions against the Galactic nonthermal background emission created by Galactic cosmic ray electrons spiraling around magnetic fields. However, the historically poor angular resolution (> 30) of previous low frequency surveys has limited such...
متن کاملThe Evolution of Cas A at Low Radio Frequencies
We have used archival 74 MHz VLA data spanning the last 15 years in combination with new data from the Long Wavelength Demonstrator Array (LWDA) and data from the literature covering the last 50 years to explore the evolution of Cas A at low radio frequencies. We find that the secular decrease of the flux density of Cas A at ∼ 80 MHz is rather stable over five decades of time, decreasing at a r...
متن کاملHigh-resolution radio study of SNR IC 443 at low radio frequencies
Aims. We investigate the morphology at low radio frequencies of the supernova remnant (SNR) IC 443 in detail and accurately establish its radio continuum spectral properties. Methods. We used the VLA in multiple configurations to produce high-resolution radio images of IC 443 at 74 and 330 MHz. From these data we produced the first sensitive, spatially resolved spectral analysis of the radio em...
