New radio-galaxy X-ray results from Chandra
Worrall, D.M.; Birkinshaw, M.; Hardcastle, M.J. (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 ... -

Radio, optical and X-ray nuclei in nearby 3CRR radio galaxies
Hardcastle, M.J.; Worrall, D.M. (2000)HST observations have shown that low-redshift 3CR radio galaxies often exhibit a point-like optical component positionally coincident with the GHz-frequency radio core. In this paper we discuss the correlation between the ... -
