'Normal' Fanaroff–Riley type II radio galaxies as a probe of the nature of X-shaped radio sources
(2008)
We present amultiwavelength radio study of a sample of nearby Fanaroff-Riley class II (FRII) radio galaxies,matched with the sample of known X-shaped radio sources in size, morphological properties and redshift, using new ...
Inverse-Compton Emission from the Lobes of 3C353
(Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 2008)
Analysis of the radio synchrotron and X-ray inverse-Compton emission from radio-loud active galaxies allows us to determine their particle ac- celeration processes and electron energy spectra. Previous studies have provided ...
Where Centaurus A gets its X-ray knottiness
(2008)
We report an X-ray spectral study of the transverse structure of the Centaurus A jet using new data from the Chandra Cen A Very Large Project. We find that the spectrum steepens with increasing distance from the jet axis, ...
Evidence for Non-Hydrostatic Gas Motions in the Hot Interstellar Medium of Centaurus A
(2008)
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 ...
X-Ray Nuclei in Radio Galaxies: Exploring the Roles of Hot and Cold Gas Accretion
(Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 2008)
We present results from Chandra and XMM-Newton spectroscopic observations of the nuclei of z < 0.5 radio galaxies and quasars from the 3CRR catalog, and examine in detail the dichotomy in the properties of low- and ...
A Transient Black-Hole Low-Mass X-Ray Binary Candidate in Centaurus A
(2008)
We report the discovery of a bright transient X-ray source, CXOU J132518.2–430304, toward Centaurus A (Cen A) using six new Chandra X-Ray Observatory observations in 2007 March-May. Between 2003 and 2007, its flux has ...
