High Resolution Observations at 3.6 Cm of Seventeen Fr Ii Radio Galaxies with 0:15 < Z < 0:3

چکیده
We present high-resolution VLA observations at 8.4 GHz of the seventeen FRII radio galaxies with 0:15 < z < 0:30 and LAS < 190 arcsec from the sample of Laing, Riley & Longair (1983), together with 5-GHz MERLIN observations of one source. Jets have been discovered in 3C20, 4C14.11, 3C 234 and 3C436, and well imaged for the rst time in a number of other objects; the fraction of objects in the sample with deenite or probable jets is 76 per cent. The properties of the hot spots of the objects and their implications for models of radio sources are discussed.

Distant FR I radio galaxies in the Hubble Deep Field: Implications for the cosmological evolution of radio-loud AGN
Deep and high resolution radio observations of the Hubble Deep Field and flanking fields have shown the presence of two distant edge-darkened FR I radio galaxies, allowing for the first time an estimate of their high redshift space density. If it is assumed that the space density of FR I radio galaxies at z>1 is similar to that found in the local universe, then the chance of finding two FR I ra...
متن کاملA Study of Frii Radio Galaxies with Z < 0:15 { Ii. High-resolution Maps of Eleven Sources at 3.6 Cm
VLA maps of total intensity and fractional polarization at 3.6 cm are presented for eleven radio galaxies, part of a sample of 29 nearby radio galaxies with P 178 > 1:5 10 25 W Hz ?1 sr ?1. Ten have classical double structure. The hotspots in all of these are well resolved. We have discovered a one-sided jet in 3C 135, as well as imaging the known jets in 3C 98, 111 and 445 at high resolution. ...
متن کاملHigh - resolution observations of a complete sample of twenty - seven FR II radio galaxies
We present high-resolution VLA and MERLIN observations of the twenty-seven FR II radio galaxies and quasars with 0.3 < z < 0.6 from the sample of Laing, Riley & Longair (1983). The jet detection rate is similar to that found in the lower-power, lower-redshift studies carried out using similar observing conditions. A wide range of lobe and hotspot structures is observed in both the radio galaxie...
متن کاملFR II radio galaxies with z < 0 . 3 – I . Properties of jets , cores and hot spots
In previous papers we have discussed high-resolution observations of a large sample of powerful radio galaxies with z < 0.3. Jets are detected in up to 80 per cent of the sample, and radio cores in nearly all the objects; in addition, we are able to resolve the hot spots in most sources. In this paper we present measurements of the radio properties of these components. The prominences of the je...
متن کاملClustering of galaxies around radio quasars at 0.5z0.8
We have observed the galaxy environments around a sample of 21 radio-loud, steepspectrum quasars at 0:5 # z # 0:82; spanning several orders of magnitude in radio luminosity. The observations also include background control fields used to obtain the excess number of galaxies in each quasar field. The galaxy excess was quantified using the spatial galaxy±quasar correlation amplitude, Bgq, and an ...
