Radio Emission from AGN detected by the VLA FIRST Survey
نویسنده
چکیده
Using the most recent (April 2003) version of the VLA FIRST survey radio catalog, we have searched for radio emission from > 2800 AGN taken from the most recent (2001) version of the Veron-Cetty and Veron AGN catalog. These AGN lie in the ∼9033 square degrees of sky already covered by the VLA FIRST survey. Our work has resulted in positive detection of radio emission from 775 AGN of which 214 are new detections at radio

Radio emission and active galactic nucleus feedback in post-starburst galaxies
We investigate radio-mode AGN activity among post-starburst galaxies from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) to determine whether AGN feedback may be responsible for the cessation of star formation. Based on radio morphology and radio loudness from the FIRST and NVSS data, we separate objects with radio activity due to an AGN from ongoing residual star formation. Of 513 SDSS galaxies with stro...
متن کاملA survey of extended radio jets in AGN with Chandra and HST: First Results
We present the first results from an X-ray and optical survey of a sample of AGN radio jets with Chandra and HST. We focus here on the first six sources observed at X-rays, in four of which a bright X-ray jet was detected for the first time. In three out of four cases optical emission from the jet is also detected in our HST images. We compare the X-ray morphology with the radio as derived from...
متن کاملThe environmental dependence of radio–loud AGN activity and star formation in the 2dFGRS
By combining the 2–degree Field Galaxy Redshift Survey with the NRAO VLA Sky Survey at 1.4 GHz, the environments of radio loud AGN in the nearby Universe are investigated using both local projected galaxy densities and a friends–of–friends group finding algorithm. Radio–loud AGN are preferentially located in galaxy groups and poor–to–moderate richness galaxy clusters. The AGN fraction appears t...
متن کاملThe AGN Content of Ultraluminous IR Galaxies: High Resolution VLA Imaging of the IRAS 1 Jy ULIRG Sample
This paper presents the results of a high resolution radio imaging survey of 83 of the 118 ultraluminous infrared galaxies (ULIRGs) in the IRAS 1 Jy ULIRG sample. We have observed these ULIRGs at 15 GHz with the Very Large Array (VLA). We find that ∼75% of Seyferts (both type 1 and 2) and LINERs have radio nuclei which are compact at our 150 mas resolution. The detection rate of H II nuclei is ...
متن کاملA Radio Census of Nuclear Activity in Nearby Galaxies
In order to determine the incidence of black hole accretion-driven nuclear activity in nearby galaxies, as manifested by their radio emission, we have carried out a high-resolution Multi-Element Radio-Linked Interferometer Network (MERLIN) survey of LINERs and composite LINER/Hii galaxies from a complete magnitude-limited sample of bright nearby galaxies (Palomar sample) with unknown arcsecond-...
