XMM-Newton Observations of the Nuclei of the Radio Galaxies 3C 305, DA 240, and 4C 73.08
(2008)
We present new XMM-Newton EPIC observations of the nuclei of the nearby radio galaxies 3C 305, DA 240, and 4C 73.08, and investigate the origin of their nuclear X-ray emission. The nuclei of the three sources appear to ...
Inverse-Compton emission from the lobes of 3C 353
(2008)
X-ray emission due to inverse-Compton scattering of microwave background photons by electrons in the lobes of powerful radio galaxies has now been seen in a large number of objects. Combining an inverse-Compton model for ...
Deep Chandra Observations of the Centaurus A Jet
(Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 2008)
Chandra has observed the jet of Centaurus A for 560 ks in 2007, giving a total on-source observation time since the launch of Chandra of 720 ks. Combining these datasets gives us a uniquely detailed X-ray view of the jet ...
Shock heating by nearby AGN.
(ESO / Springer, 2007)
Hot and cold gas accretion and feedback in radio-loud active galaxies
(2007)
We have recently shown that X-ray observations of the population of ‘low-excitation’ radio galaxies, which includesmost low-power, Fanaroff-Riley class I sources as well as some more powerful Fanaroff-Riley class II objects, ...
New results on particle acceleration in the Centaurus A jet and counterjet from a deep Chandra observation
(2007)
We present new deep Chandra observations of the Centaurus A jet, with a combined on-source exposure time of 719 ks. These data allow detailed X-ray spectral measurements to be made along the jet out to its disappearance ...
Active galactic nuclei heating in the centres of galaxy groups: a statistical study
(2007)
We present gas temperature, density, entropy and cooling time profiles for the cores of a sample of 15 galaxy groups observed with Chandra.We find that the entropy profiles follow a power-law profile down to very small ...
