چکیده
We present three-dimensional hydrodynamical simulations of buoyant gas in a typical cluster environment. The hot matter was injected continuously into a small region offset from the cluster centre. In agreement with previous analytic estimates we found that the bubbles evolve very differently depending on their luminosity. Using tracer particles we computed radio maps of the bubbles based on different assumptions about the magnetic field. In the radio band the bubbles closely resemble FRI sources. For the bubbles to be detectable for long enough to account for FRI sources, we found that reacceleration has to take place. The bubbles are generally difficult to detect, both, in the radio and in the X-ray band. Thus it is possible to hide a significant amount of energy in the form of bubbles in clusters. Finally, we compute the efficiency of the bubbles to stir the ICM and find that recurrent low-power sources may be fairly effective in mixing the inner cluster region.

We present the GMRT 235 MHz images of three radio galaxies and 610 MHz images of two sources belonging to a complete sample of cD galaxies in rich and poor galaxy clusters. The analysis of the spectral properties confirms the presence of aged radio emission in two of the presented sources.

Introducing a simple Galactic wind model patterned after the solar wind we show that back-tracing the orbits of the highest energy cosmic events suggests that they may all come from the Virgo cluster, and so probably from the active radio galaxy M87. This confirms a long standing expectation. Those powerful radio galaxies that have their relativistic jets stuck in the interstellar medium of the...

The 2 Ms Chandra Deep Field-North survey provides the deepest view of the Universe in the 0.5–8.0 keV X-ray band. In this brief review we investigate the diversity of X-ray selected sources and focus on the constraints placed on AGNs (including binary AGNs) in high-redshift submm galaxies.

We describe an instrument concept that will provide simultaneous spectra for a million spatial samples on the sky. With the proposed field of view and spectral resolution, it will be able to measure redshifts and line strengths for around 2-4000 z∼3-7 galaxies in a 16 night campaign. The main science driver is to obtain a complete census of the star formation properties of galaxies with 2.5<z<6...
