    • An active galactic nucleus driven shock in the intracluster medium around the radio galaxy 3C310 

      Kraft, R.P.; Nulsen, P.E.J.; Forman, W.R.; Jones, C.; Murray, S.S.; Birkinshaw, M.; Worrall, D.M.; Croston, J.H.; Hardcastle, M.J. (2012-04-10)
      We present results from a 57.6 ks Chandra observation of the cluster gas associated with the fat-double radio galaxy 3C 310. We find a surface brightness discontinuity in the gas outside the southern radio lobe that we ...

    • A Chandra observation of 3C 288 - reheating the cool core of a 3 keV cluster from a nuclear outburst at z=0.246 

      Lal, D.V.; Kraft, R.P.; Forman, W.R.; Hardcastle, M.J.; Jones, C.; Nulsen, P.E.J.; Evans, D.A.; Croston, J.H.; Lee, J.C. (2010)
      We present results from a 42 ks Chandra/ACIS-S observation of the transitional FR I/FR II radio galaxy 3C 288 at z = 0.246. We detect ~3 keV gas extending to a radius of ~0.5 Mpc with a 0.5-2.0 keV luminosity of 6.6 × 1043 ...

    • Evidence for Non-Hydrostatic Gas Motions in the Hot Interstellar Medium of Centaurus A

      We present preliminary results from a deep (600 ks) Chandra observation of the hot interstellar medium of the nearby early-type galaxy Centaurus A. We find a surface brightness discontinuity in the gas ~3.5 kpc from the ...

    • The gas dynamics of NGC 4472 revealed by XMM-Newton 

      Kraft, R.P.; Forman, W.R.; Jones, C.; Nulsen, P.E.J.; Hardcastle, M.J.; Raychaudhury, S.; Evans, D.A.; Sivakoff, G.R.; Sarazin, C.L. (2011)
      We present results from a 100 ks XMM-Newton observation of the hot gas in the Virgo cluster elliptical galaxy NGC 4472. We find a surface brightness discontinuity ∼21 kpc north of the nucleus, consistent with being a contact ...

    • Gas sloshing and radio galaxy dynamics in the core of the 3C 449 group 

      Lal, D.V.; Kraft, R.P.; Randall, S.W.; Forman, W.R.; Nulsen, P.E.J.; Jones, C.; Roediger, E.; Zuhone, J.A.; Hardcastle, M.J.; Croston, J.H. (2013-02-10)
      We present results from a 140 ks Chandra/ACIS-S observation of the hot gas around the canonical FR I radio galaxy 3C 449. An earlier, shorter 30 ks Chandra observation of the group gas showed an unusual entropy distribution ...

    • High-energy particle acceleration at the radio-lobe shock of Centaurus A 

      Croston, J.H.; Kraft, R.P.; Hardcastle, M.J.; Birkinshaw, M.; Worrall, D.M.; Nulsen, P.E.J.; Penna, R.F.; Sivakoff, G.R.; Jordan, R.; Brassington, Nicola; Evans, D.A.; Forman, W.R.; Gilfanov, M.; Goodger, Joanna; Harris, W.E.; Jones, C.; Juett, A.M.; Murray, S.S.; Raychaudhury, S.; Sarazin, C.L.; Voss, R.; Woodley, K.A. (2009)
      We present new results on the shock around the south-west radio lobe of Centaurus A using data from the Chandra Very Large Programme observations (740 ks total observing time). The X-ray spectrum of the emission around the ...

    • The jet heated x-ray filament in the Centaurus A northern middle radio lobe 

      Kraft, R.P.; Forman, W.R.; Hardcastle, M.J.; Birkinshaw, M.; Croston, J.H.; Jones, C.; Nulsen, P.E.J.; Worrall, D.M.; Murray, S.S. (2009)
      We present results from a 40 ks XMM-Newton observation of the X-ray filament coincident with the southeast edge of the Centaurus A Northern Middle Radio Lobe (NML). We find that the X-ray filament consists of five spatially ...

    • The Jet/ISM Interaction in Three Nearby Radio Galaxies as Seen with Chandra. 

      Kraft, R.P.; Forman, W.R.; Churazov, E.; Eilek, J.; Hardcastle, M.J.; Heinz, S.; Jones, C.; Markevitch, M.; Murray, S.S.; Nulsen, P.E.J.; Owen, F.; Vikhlinin, V.; Worrall, D.M. (2004)
      Chandra observations of radio galaxies have demonstrated a wide range of complex interactions between their jets and the ambient interstellar/intracluster medium (ISM/ICM). In this paper, we discuss results from Chandra ...

    • Long-term monitoring of the dynamics and particle acceleration of knots in the jet of Centaurus A
