A Chandra observation of the X-ray environment and jet of 3C 31
(2002-07)
We have used a deep Chandra observation of the central regions of the twin-jet FRI radio galaxy 3C 31 to resolve the thermal X-ray emission in the central few kiloparsecs of the host galaxy, NGC 383, where the jets are ...
Chandra Observations of the X-Ray Jet in Centaurus A
(2002-04)
We present high angular resolution X-ray images and spectra from two Chandra AXAF CCD Imaging Spectrometer (ACIS-I) observations of the X-ray jet in the nearby radio galaxy Cen A. We find that the X-ray emission from the ...
Chandra observations of the X-ray jet in 3C 66B
(2001-10)
Our Chandra observation of the FRI radio galaxy 3C66B has resulted in the first detection of an X-ray counterpart to the previously known radio, infra-red and optical jet. The X-ray jet is detected up to 7 arcsec from the ...
New insights on Radio-Galaxy X-ray Emission Components from Chandra

The environments of FR II radio sources
(Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 2001)
Using ROSAT observations, we estimate gas pressures in the X-ray-emitting media surrounding 63 FR II radio galaxies and quasars. We compare these pressures with the internal pressures of the radio-emitting plasma estimated ...
New radio-galaxy X-ray results from Chandra
(Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 2001)
The superior spatial resolution of the Chandra X-ray Observatory is sharpening our X-ray vision of extragalactic radio sources. Our recent Guest Observer observations of a small sample of B2 radio galaxies show jet X-ray ...
Equipartition in the hot-spots of 3C 123
(Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 2001)
Chandra X-ray Observatory observations of the powerful, peculiar radio galaxy 3C 123 have resulted in an X-ray detection of the bright eastern hot-spot, with a 1-ke V flux density of ~5 nJy. The X-ray flux and spectrum of ...
