    • Duty cycle of the radio galaxy B2 0258+35 

      Brienza, M.; Morganti, R.; Murgia, M.; Vilchez, N.; Adebahr, B.; Carretti, E.; Concu, R.; Govoni, F.; Harwood, J.; Intema, H.; Loi, F.; Melis, A.; Paladino, R.; Poppi, S.; Shulevski, A.; Vacca, V.; Valente, G. (2018-10-11)
      Context. Radio loud active galactic nuclei (AGN) are episodic in nature, cycling through periods of activity and quiescence. The study of this duty cycle has recently gained new relevance because of the importance of AGN ...

    • The galaxy group NGC 507: newly detected AGN remnant plasma transported by sloshing 

      Brienza, M.; Lovisari, L.; Rajpurohit, K.; Bonafede, A.; Gastaldello, F.; Murgia, M.; Vazza, F.; Bonnassieux, E.; Botteon, A.; Brunetti, G.; Drabent, A.; Hardcastle, M. J.; Pasini, T.; Riseley, C. J.; Röttgering, H. J. A.; Shimwell, T.; Simionescu, A.; Weeren, R. J. van (2022-05-06)
      Jets from active galactic nuclei (AGN) are known to recurrently enrich their surrounding medium with mildly-relativistic particles and magnetic fields. Here, we present a detailed multi-frequency analysis of the nearby ...

    • NGC 326: X-shaped no more 

      Hardcastle, M. J.; Croston, J. H.; Shimwell, T. W.; Tasse, C.; Gurkan Uygun, Gulay; Morganti, R.; Murgia, M.; Rottgering, H. J. A.; Weeren, R. J. van; Williams, W. L. (2019-09-01)
      We present new 144-MHz LOFAR observations of the prototypical `X-shaped' radio galaxy NGC 326, which show that the formerly known wings of the radio lobes extend smoothly into a large-scale, complex radio structure. We ...

    • Radiative age mapping of the remnant radio galaxy B2 0924+30 : The LOFAR perspective 

      Shulevski, A.; Morganti, R.; Harwood, J. J.; Barthel, P. D.; Jamrozy, M.; Brienza, M.; Brunetti, G.; Röttgering, H. J.A.; Murgia, M.; White, G. J.; Croston, J. H.; Brüggen, M. (2017-04-01)
      We have observed the steep spectrum radio source B2 0924+30 using the LOw Frequency ARray (LOFAR) telescope. Hosted by a z = 0.026 elliptical galaxy, it has a relatively large angular size of 12′ (corresponding to 360 kpc ...

    • Studying the late evolution of a radio-loud AGN in a galaxy group with LOFAR 

      Savini, F.; Bonafede, A.; Brüggen, M.; Wilber, A.; Harwood, J. J.; Murgia, M.; Shimwell, T.; Rafferty, D.; Shulevski, A.; Brienza, M.; Hardcastle, M. J.; Morganti, R.; Röttgering, H.; Clarke, A. O.; de Gasperin, F.; van Weeren, R.; Best, P. N.; Botteon, A.; Brunetti, G.; Cassano, R. (2018-03-11)
      Feedback by radio-loud active galactic nuclei (AGNs) in galaxy groups is not fully understood. Open questions include the duty cycle of theAGN, the spatial extent of the radio lobes, the effect they have on the intragroup ...
