An X-ray View of Radio Sources
نویسنده
چکیده
We review recent examples where the synergy between radio and X-ray observations has led to substantial progress in understanding astronomical systems. The sub-arcsecond imaging capabilities of the Chandra X-ray observatory provides a 100-fold improvement for comparing X-ray and radio structures. We specifically discuss examples which provide insight into the outflow of material and energy from pulsars and supernovae, the centers of clusters of galaxies, and the nuclei of quasars.

X-ray Emission from GPS and CSS Sources
Many X-ray observations of GigaHertz Peaked Spectrum and Compact Steep Spectrum sources have been made with Chandra X-ray Observatory and XMM-Newton Observatory over the last few years. The X-ray spectra contribute the important information to the total energy distribution of the compact radio sources. In addition the spatial resolution of Chandra allows for studies of the X-ray morphology of t...
متن کاملThe nature of the prompt X - ray and radio emission from SN 2002 ap ⋆
We report on the combined X-ray and radio observations of the type Ic SN2002ap, using XMMNewton TOO observation of M74 and the Giant Meterwave Radio Telescope (GMRT). We account for the presence of a nearby source in the pre-supernova Chandra field of view in our measurements of the X-ray flux (0.3 10 KeV) 5.2 days after the explosion. The X-ray spectrum is well fitted by a power law spectrum w...
متن کاملThe X-ray view of Giga-Hertz peaked spectrum radio galaxies
Context. This paper presents the X-ray properties of a fluxand volume-limited complete sample of 16 Giga-Hertz Peaked Spectrum (GPS) galaxies. Aims. This study addresses three basic questions in our understanding of the nature and evolution of GPS sources: a) What is the physical origin of the X-ray emission in GPS galaxies? b) What physical system is associated with the X-ray obscuration? c) W...
متن کاملTHE DEEP X-RAY RADIO BLAZAR SURVEY (DXRBS) II. New Identifications
We have searched the archived, pointed ROSAT Position Sensitive Proportional Counter data for blazars by correlating the WGACAT X-ray database with several publicly available radio catalogs, restricting our candidate list to serendipitous X-ray sources with a flat radio spectrum (αr ≤ 0.70, where Sν ∝ ν −α). This makes up the Deep X-ray Radio Blazar Survey (DXRBS). Here we present new identific...
متن کاملA Chandra High-Resolution X-ray Image of Centaurus A.
We present first results from a Chandra X-Ray Observatory observation of the radio galaxy Centaurus A with the High-Resolution Camera. All previously reported major sources of X-ray emission including the bright nucleus, the jet, individual point sources, and diffuse emission are resolved or detected. The spatial resolution of this observation is better than 1&arcsec; in the center of the field...
