      We present a detailed study of the infrared spectral energy distribution of the high-redshift radio galaxy MRC1138-26 at z = 2.156, also known as the Spiderweb Galaxy. By combining photometry from Spitzer, Herschel and ...
    • Studying the late evolution of a radio-loud AGN in a galaxy group with LOFAR 

      Savini, F.; Bonafede, A.; Brüggen, M.; Wilber, A.; Harwood, J. J.; Murgia, M.; Shimwell, T.; Rafferty, D.; Shulevski, A.; Brienza, M.; Hardcastle, M.
