AGN Zoo and Classications of Active Galaxies
We review the variety of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) classes (so-calledAGN zoo") and classification schemes of galaxies by activity types based on their optical emission-line spectrum, as well as other parameters and other than optical wave-length ranges. A historical overview of discoveries of various types of active galaxies is given, including Seyfert galaxies, radio galaxies, QSOs, BL Lace...
متن کاملChandra Observations of Cygnus A: Magnetic Field Strengths in the Hot Spots of a Radio Galaxy
We report X-ray observations of the powerful radio galaxy Cygnus A with the Chandra X-Ray Observatory. This Letter focuses on the radio hot spots, all four of which are detected in X-rays with a very similar morphology to their radio structure. X-ray spectra have been obtained for the two brighter hot spots (A and D). Both are well described by a power law with photon index absorbed by the Gala...

Received ; accepted – 2 – ABSTRACT We report ROSAT PSPC spatial and spectral analysis of the eight B2 radio galaxies 3C 449, expected to be representative of the class of low-power radio galaxies. Multiple X-ray components are present in each, and the gas components have a wide range of linear sizes and follow an extrapolation of the cluster X-ray luminosity/temperature correlation, implying th...
متن کاملOptical Properties of Cooling Flow Central Cluster Ellipticals
Central cluster galaxies in cooling flows show the signatures of gaseous accretion and ongoing star formation at rates ranging between ∼ 1 − 100 M⊙ yr −1. Their blue morphologies usually reflect the low net angular momentum content of the T < 104 K gas from which the accretion population formed, and the effects of interactions between the cool gas and their FR I radio sources. For example, ther...
متن کاملar X iv : a st ro - p h / 00 09 17 3 v 1 1 2 Se p 20 00 – 1 – A MODERATE CLUSTER COOLING FLOW MODEL
We propose that the outer portions of cooling flows in clusters of galaxies are frequently disrupted by radio jets, and that their effective ages are much shorter than the cluster ages. The inner regions, where the gas density is higher, are more difficult to disrupt, and may continue to harbor cooling flows even after disruption events. The main assumption of the proposed scenario is that, on ...
