Very High Redshift Radio Galaxies
نویسنده
چکیده
High redshift radio galaxies (HzRGs) provide unique targets for the study of the formation and evolution of massive galaxies and galaxy clusters at very high redshifts. We discuss how efficient HzRG samples are selected, the evidence for strong morphological evolution at near-infrared wavelengths, and for jet-induced star formation in the z = 3.800 HzRG 4C41.17.

Present - day clustering of radio galaxies
This review discusses three ways in which radio galaxies and other high-redshift objects can give us information on the nature and statistics of cosmological inhomogeneities, and how they have evolved between high redshift and the present: (1) The present-day spatial distribution and clustering of radio galaxies; (2) The evolution of radio-galaxy clustering and biased clustering at high redshif...
متن کاملThe new sample of Giant radio sources : I . Radio imaging , optical identification and spectroscopy of selected candidates
A new sample of very large angular size radio sources has been selected from the 1.4 GHz VLA surveys: FIRST and NVSS. This sample will be very useful for an observational constraint on the time evolution of double radio sources, especially their size, predicted by numerous analytical models of such evolution (cf. Introduction). In this paper we present radio and optical data for a large fractio...
متن کاملThe Radio-to-Submm Spectral Index as a Redshift Indicator
We present models of the 1.4 GHz to 350 GHz spectral index, α 1.4 , for starburst galaxies as a function of redshift. The models include a semi-analytic formulation, based on the well quantified radio-to-far infrared correlation for low redshift star forming galaxies, and an empirical formulation, based on the observed spectrum of the starburst galaxies M82 and Arp 220. We compare the models to...

We present evidence that the 3CR radio galaxies at redshift z ∼ 1 are already very massive, highly dynamically evolved galaxies, which lie at the heart of (proto–)cluster environments. Since nearby 3CR double radio sources are generally found in more isolated surroundings, the galactic environments of these galaxies must change dramatically with redshift. Therefore, the original ‘uniform popula...
متن کاملMorphological Evolution in High Redshift Radio Galaxies and the Formation of Giant Elliptical Galaxies
We present deep near–infrared images of high redshift radio galaxies (HzRGs) obtained with the Near Infrared Camera (NIRC) on the Keck I telescope. In most cases, the near–IR data sample rest wavelengths free of contamination from strong emission lines and at λrest > 4000Å, where older stellar populations, if present, might dominate the observed flux. At z > 3, the rest–frame optical morphologi...
