      The effects of feedback from high luminosity radio-loud AGN have been extensively discussed in the literature, but feedback from low-luminosity radio-loud AGN is less well understood. The advent of high sensitivity, high ...

    • Revisiting the Fanaroff-Riley dichotomy and radio-galaxy morphology with the LOFAR Two-Metre Sky Survey (LoTSS) 

      Mingo, B.; Croston, J. H.; Hardcastle, M. J.; Best, P. N.; Duncan, K. J.; Morganti, R.; Rottgering, H. J. A.; Sabater, J.; Shimwell, T. W.; Williams, W. L.; Brienza, M.; Gurkan, G.; Mahatma, V. H.; Morabito, L. K.; Prandoni, I.; Bondi, M.; Ineson, J.; Mooney, S. (2019-09-01)
      The relative positions of the high and low surface brightness regions of radio-loud active galaxies in the 3CR sample were found by Fanaroff and Riley to be correlated with their luminosity. We revisit this canonical ...
    • Shocks, seyferts, and the supernova remnant connection : A chandra observation of the circinus galaxy
