X-ray emission from the extended emission-line region of the powerful radio galaxy 3C 171
(2010)We present Chandra X-ray observations of the powerful radio galaxy 3C 171, which reveal an extended region of X-ray emission spatially associated with the well-known 10-kpc scale optical emission-line region around the ... -
The X-ray Emission of Low-Power Radio Galaxies
(Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 2003)A low-power radio galaxy generally emits X-rays from a compact X-ray core, its brighter kpc-scale radio jet, and a galaxy atmosphere. The core emission is normally predominantly radio related. The kpc-scale jet emission ... -
X-ray flare candidates in short gamma-ray bursts
(2011-11-01)We present the first systematic study of X-ray flare candidates in short gamma-ray bursts (SGRBs) exploiting the large 6-year Swift data base with the aim to constrain the physical nature of such fluctuations. We find that ... -
X-ray groups and clusters of galaxies in the Subaru–XMM Deep Field
(2010)We present the results of a search for galaxy clusters in the Subaru–XMM Deep Field (SXDF). We reach a depth for a total cluster flux in the 0.5–2 keV band of 2 × 10−15 erg cm−2 s−1 over one of the widest XMM–Newton ... -
The X-ray jet and central structure of the active galaxy NGC 315
(2003-08)We report the Chandra detection of resolved X-ray emission of luminosity 3.5 × 1040 ergs s−1 (0.4–4.5 keV) and power-law energy spectral index = 1.5 ± 0.7 from a roughly 10 arcsec length of the north-west radio jet in ... -

X-Ray Nuclei in Radio Galaxies: Exploring the Roles of Hot and Cold Gas Accretion
(Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 2008)We present results from Chandra and XMM-Newton spectroscopic observations of the nuclei of z < 0.5 radio galaxies and quasars from the 3CRR catalog, and examine in detail the dichotomy in the properties of low- and ... -
The X-ray nuclei of intermediate-redshift radio sources
(2006)We present a Chandra and XMM-Newton spectral analysis of the nuclei of the radio galaxies and radio-loud quasars from the 3CRR sample in the redshift range 0.1 < z < 0.5. In the range of radio luminosity sampled by these ... -
X-ray observations of low-power radio galaxies from the B2 catalogue
(1999)We present an analysis of X-ray data, taken with ROSAT, for a well defined sample of low-power radio galaxies from the Bologna B2 catalogue. Where possible, the HRI has been used in order to take advantage of the higher ... -
X-Ray Observations of Superbubbles in Dwarf Galaxies
(Revista Mexicana de Astronom a y Astrof sica, 2000)There is plenty of evidence from neutral hydrogen observations for a violent interstellar medium, dominated by hot-plasma filled superbubbles. However, there are few direct observations of their thermal X-ray emission from ... -
X-ray properties of the Youngest Radio Sources and their Environments
(2016-05-23)We present the first results from our X-ray study of young radio sources classified as compact symmetric objects (CSOs). Using the Chandra X-ray Observatory we observed six CSOs for the first time in X-rays, and re-observed ... -
The X-ray Ribs Within the Cocoon Shock of Cygnus A
(2018-06-01)We use new and archival Chandra observations of Cygnus A, totalling ~1.9Ms, to investigate the distribution and temperature structure of gas lying within the projected extent of the cocoon shock and exhibiting a rib-like ... -
The X-ray spectra of the luminous LMXBs in NGC 3379 : field and globular cluster sources
(2010-12)From a deep multi-epoch Chandra observation of the elliptical galaxy NGC 3379 we report the spectral properties of eight luminous LMXBs (L-X > 1.2 x 10(38) erg s(-1)). We also present a set of spectral simulations, produced ... -
X-Ray Studies of Radio-Loud AGN
(University of Hertfordshire, 2013-05-24)In this thesis I use X-ray observations to study the cores and extended structures of radio-loud AGN, to determine their structure, accretion properties and the impact they have on their surroundings. I use new Chandra ... -
An X-ray survey of the 2 Jy sample - II. X-ray emission from extended structures
(2017-09-21)The 2 Jy sample is a survey of radio galaxies with flux densities above 2 Jy at 2.7 GHz. As part of our ongoing work on the southern subset of 2 Jy sources, in paper I of this series we analysed the X-ray cores of the ... -
An X-ray survey of the 2 Jy sample-I : Is there an accretion mode dichotomy in radio-loud AGN?
(2014-05-01)We carry out a systematic study of the X-ray emission from the active nuclei of the 0.02 < z< 0.7 2 Jy sample, using Chandra and XMM-Newton observations.We combine our results with those from mid-infrared, optical emission-line ...
