Vlbi Imaging of the X-ray Bright Lobe Hotspot in Pks B2152 699
نویسنده
چکیده
Wide-field very long baseline interferometric (VLBI) imaging can be used to study the compact radio structures in extended extragalactic radio sources such as starburst galaxies and radio galaxies. Recently, compact radio emission has been detected from the southern lobe hotspot in the nearby, powerful radio galaxy PKS B2152 699, using an array of Southern Hemisphere radio telescopes, resulting in the highest spatial resolution image of a radio galaxy hotspot to date. These VLBI data are being analyzed in conjunction with HST optical and Chandra X-ray observations to give a complete picture of the relationship between the relativistic jet in PKS B2152-699 and the host galaxy environment.

The jet–cloud interacting radio galaxy PKS B2152−699 – I. Structures revealed in new deep radio and X-ray observations
PKS B2152−699, which has radio power characteristic of sources that dominate radio feedback, is exceptional in showing a wide range of features associated with radio-galaxy/gas interactions. We present new deep radio (Australia Telescope Compact Array), X-ray (Chandra) and ground-based optical observations, and test the energetics of the feedback model. We report the first high-resolution obser...

A Chandra ACIS-S observation of PKS2152-699 reveals thermal emission from a diffuse region around the core and a hotspot located 10 northeast from the core. This is the first detection of thermal X-ray radiation on kiloparsec scales from an extragalactic radio source. Two other hotspots located 47 northnortheast and 26 southwest from the core were also detected. Using a RaymondSmith model, the ...

Long Baseline Array imaging of the z=0.663 broad line radio galaxy PKS 1421–490 reveals a 400 pc diameter high surface brightness hotspot at a projected distance of approximately 40 kpc from the active galactic nucleus. The isotropic X-ray luminosity of the hotspot, L2−10 keV = 3× 10 ergs s, is comparable to the isotropic X-ray luminosity of the entire X-ray jet of PKS 0637–752, and the peak ra...
متن کاملThe X - ray jet and halo of PKS 0521 − 365
Chandra ACIS observations of PKS 0521−365 find that the X-ray emission of this BL Lac object consists of emission from an unresolved core, a diffuse halo, and a 2 arcsec jet feature coincident with the inner radio/optical jet. A comparison with a new ATCA 8.6-GHz map also finds X-ray emission from the bright hotspot southeast of the nucleus. The jet spectrum, from radio to X-ray, is probably sy...
متن کاملRadio jet interactions in the radio galaxy PKS 2152 - 699
We present radio observations of the radio galaxy PKS 2152-699 obtained with the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA). The much higher resolution and s/n of the new radio maps reveals the presence of a bright radio component about 10 arcsec NE of the nucleus. This lies close to the highly ionized cloud previously studied in the optical and here shown in a broadband red snapshot image with t...
