Radio-Loud Active Galactic Nucleus : is there a link between luminosity and cluster environment?
(2013-06-20)
We present here the first results from the Chandra ERA (Environments of Radio-loud AGN) Large Project, characterizing the cluster environments of a sample of 26 radio-loud active galactic nuclei (AGNs) at z similar to 0.5 ...
Spectral properties of X-ray binaries in Centaurus A
(2013-04-01)
We present a spectral investigation of X-ray binaries (XBs) in NGC 5128 (Cen A), using six 100 ks Chandra observations taken over two months in 2007. We divide our sample into thermally and non-thermally dominated states ...
Gas sloshing and radio galaxy dynamics in the core of the 3C 449 group
(2013-02-10)
We present results from a 140 ks Chandra/ACIS-S observation of the hot gas around the canonical FR I radio galaxy 3C 449. An earlier, shorter 30 ks Chandra observation of the group gas showed an unusual entropy distribution ...
Shocks, seyferts, and the supernova remnant connection : A chandra observation of the circinus galaxy
(2012-10-20)
We analyze new Chandra observations of the nearest (D = 4 Mpc) Seyfert 2 active galaxy, Circinus, and match them to pre-existing radio, infrared, and optical data to study the kpc-scale emission. The proximity of Circinus ...
A transient sub-Eddington black hole X-ray binary candidate in the dust lanes of Centaurus A
(2012-04-20)
We report the discovery of a bright X-ray transient CXOU J132527.6-430023 in the nearby early-type galaxy NGC5128. The source was first detected over the course of five Chandra observations in 2007, reaching an unabsorbed ...
An active galactic nucleus driven shock in the intracluster medium around the radio galaxy 3C310
(2012-04-10)
We present results from a 57.6 ks Chandra observation of the cluster gas associated with the fat-double radio galaxy 3C 310. We find a surface brightness discontinuity in the gas outside the southern radio lobe that we ...
The Suzaku view of the disk-jet connection in the low-excitation radio galaxy NGC 6251
(2011-11)
We present results from an 87 ks Suzaku observation of the canonical low-excitation radio galaxy (LERG) NGC6251. We have previously suggested that LERGs violate conventional active galactic nucleus unification schemes: ...
Markarian 6 : shocking the environment of an intermediate Seyfert
(2011)
Markarian 6 is a nearby (D ~ 78 Mpc) Seyfert 1.5, early-type galaxy, with a double set of radio bubbles. The outer set spans similar to 7.5 kpc and is expanding into the halo regions of the host galaxy. We present an ...
Parsec-scale imaging of the radio-bubble Seyfert galaxy NGC 6764
(2010)
We have observed the composite active galactic nucleus (AGN)-starburst galaxy NGC 6764 with the Very Long Baseline Array at 1.6 and 4.9 GHz. These observations have detected a "core-jet" structure and a possible weak ...
Long-term monitoring of the dynamics and particle acceleration of knots in the jet of Centaurus A
(2010)
We present new and archival multi-frequency radio and X-ray data for Centaurus A obtained over almost 20 years at the Very Large Array and with Chandra, with which we measure the X-ray and radio spectral indices of jet ...
