- Description:
- We know from previous work that there are substantial differences between powerful FR I and FR II radio galaxies. In this paper we look at the correlations of line luminosity, radio luminosity, core radio power, and host galaxy optical magnitude independently for FR I and FR II radio galaxies and compare these correlations with those for an optically selected control sample of early-type galaxies. In this, Paper I in a two-paper series, we list the principal results.

- Description:
- We examine the radio properties of the brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs) in a large sample of X-ray selected galaxy clusters comprising the Brightest Cluster Sample (BCS), the extended BCS and ROSAT-ESO Flux Limited X-ray cluster catalogues. We have multifrequency radio observations of the BCG using a variety of data from the Australia Telescope Compact Array, Jansky Very Large Array and Very Long Baseline Array telescopes. The radio spectral energy distributions of these objects are decomposed into a component attributed to on-going accretion by the active galactic nuclei (AGN) that we refer to as 'the core', and a more diffuse, ageing component we refer to as the 'non-core'. These BCGs are matched to previous studies to determine whether they exhibit emission lines (principally H{alpha}), indicative of the presence of a strong cooling cluster core. We consider how the radio properties of the BCGs vary with cluster environmental factors. Line emitting BCGs are shown to generally host more powerful radio sources, exhibiting the presence of a strong, distinguishable core component in about 60 per cent of cases. This core component more strongly correlates with the BCG's [OIII] 5007{AA} line emission. For BCGs in line emitting clusters, the X-ray cavity power correlates with both the extended and core radio emission, suggestive of steady fuelling of the AGN over bubble-rise time-scales in these clusters.

- Description:
- This catalog presents radio and optical identifications of extragalactic IRAS sources from the IRAS Faint Source Catalog |b| > 50{deg} (Moshir et al., 1989 Cat. <II/156>). Sources with flux density > 0.2 at 60 microns and with S_60_ > S_12_ were identified by position coincidence with radio sources stronger than 25 mJy and lying north of declination = 5{deg} on the Green Bank 4.85 GHz sky map. Published VLA maps, new 4.86 GHz VLA maps made with 15 arcsec resolution, and accurate optical positions were used to confirm 122 candidate identifications. This catalog contains a merged version of tables 1 and 2 from the paper.

- Description:
- We present an analysis of the energetics and particle content of the lobes of 24 radio galaxies at the cores of cooling clusters. The radio lobes in these systems have created visible cavities in the surrounding hot, X-ray-emitting gas, which allow direct measurement of the mechanical jet power of radio sources over six decades of radio luminosity, independently of the radio properties themselves. We find that jet (cavity) power increases with radio synchrotron power approximately as P_jet_~L^{beta}^_radio_, where 0.35<={beta}<=0.70 depending on the bandpass of measurement and state of the source. Furthermore, we place limits on the magnetic field strengths and particle content of the radio lobes using a variety of X-ray constraints. We find that the lobe magnetic field strengths vary between a few to several tens of microgauss depending on the age and dynamical state of the lobes.

- Description:
- Most currently available counts of radio sources at frequencies >5GHz are restricted to relatively bright sources. Observations made at NRAO's VLA have, however, provided counts of very faint sources (S<~1mJy) at 8.5GHz. Here we extend the 8.5GHz VLA source counts to higher flux densities using both archival data and a brief, blind VLA survey at 8.5GHz.

- Radio Sources in Low-Luminosity AGNs. IV
- Short Name:
- J/A+A/435/521
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We present the completed results of a high resolution radio imaging survey of all (~200) low-luminosity active galactic nuclei (LLAGNs) and AGNs in the Palomar Spectroscopic Sample of all (~488) bright northern galaxies. The high incidences of pc-scale radio nuclei, with implied brightness temperatures >~10^7K, and sub-parsec jets argue for accreting black holes in >=50% of all LINERs and low-luminosity Seyferts; there is no evidence against all LLAGNs being mini-AGNs. The detected parsec-scale radio nuclei are preferentially found in massive ellipticals and in type 1 nuclei (i.e. nuclei with broad Halpha emission). The radio luminosity function (RLF) of Palomar Sample LLAGNs and AGNs extends three orders of magnitude below, and is continuous with, that of 'classical' AGNs. We find marginal evidence for a low-luminosity turnover in the RLF; nevertheless LLAGNs are responsible for a significant fraction of present day mass accretion.

- Radio study of double-double radio galaxy 3C293
- Short Name:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We present radio continuum observations at frequencies ranging from ~150 to 5000MHz of the misaligned double-double radio galaxy (DDRG) 3C 293 (J1352+3126) using the Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (GMRT) and the Very Large Array (VLA). The spectra of the outer lobes and the central source are consistent with being straight, indicating spectral ages of <~17-23Myr for the outer lobes and <~0.1Myr for the central source. The north-western lobe has a prominent hotspot suggesting that the interruption of jet activity is <~0.1Myr, consistent with the age of the inner double. The time-scale of interruption of jet activity appears significantly smaller than observed in most other DDRGs which are often associated with giant radio sources. These observations suggest that there is a wide range of time-scales of interruption of jet activity in active galaxies.

- Description:
- We present the results of a deep 610-MHz survey of the 1^H^ XMM-Newton/Chandra survey area with the Giant Metre-wave Radio Telescope. The resulting maps have a resolution of ~7arcsec and an rms noise limit of 60Jy. To a 5{sigma} detection limit of 300Jy, we detect 223 sources within a survey area of 64arcmin in diameter. We compute the 610-MHz source counts and compare them to those measured at other radio wavelengths.

- Description:
- The Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA) has been used at 1.38 and 2.38GHz to survey seven southern Abell clusters of galaxies with high X-ray luminosities: A2746, A2837, A3126, A3216, A3230, A3827 and A3836. The clusters have also been surveyed at 0.843GHz with the Molonglo Observatory Synthesis Telescope (MOST). We have listed a complete 1.38-GHz sample of 149 radio sources within the Abell circles centred on their X-ray centroids. We compare their identification fractions, emitted 1.38-GHz and optical powers, radio spectral indices and radial variation in projected source density with those of the radio-selected samples of Slee et al. (1998AuJPh..51..971S). We compare our fractional radio luminosity function with that of the radio-selected samples of Ledlow and Owen (1996AJ....112....9L) and Slee et al. (1998AuJPh..51..971S). Three significant differences are noted between X-ray and radio-selected samples of clusters; (1) the X-ray sample has an excess of flat-spectrum radio sources; (2) the fractional radio luminosity function for the FR I sources in the X-ray selected sample is much steeper, implying that fewer of their cluster galaxies become hosts for the stronger FR I radio galaxies; (3) a complete absence of FR II radio galaxies in the X-ray selected sample. The average excess projected density of radio sources near our cluster centres is approx. 5 times the background source density.

- Radio transients in a 1.4GHz drift-scan survey
- Short Name:

- Description:
- We report two new radio transients at high Galactic latitude, WJN J0951+3300 (RA=09h51m22s+/-10s, DE=33{deg}00'+/-0.4{deg}, b=50{deg}54.2') and WJN J1039+3300 (RA=10h39m26s+/-10s, DE=33{deg}00'+/-0.4{deg}, b=60{deg}58.5'), which were detected by interferometric drift-scan observations at 1.4GHz at the Waseda Nasu Pulsar Observatory. WJN J0951+3300 was detected at 16:49:32UT on 2006 January 12 with the flux density of approximately 1760.5+/-265.9mJy, and WJN J1039+3300 was detected at 17:13:32UT on 2006 January 18 with the flux density of approximately 2242.5+/-228.7mJy. Both of them lasted for a short duration (<=2 days). The possibility that the distribution of the WJN radio transients is isotropic was suggested in a previous study. Having re-evaluated the log N-log S relation with the addition of the two new objects reported in this paper, we find that the slope is consistent with a slope of -1.5 and the previous result. Additionally, although there are several counterparts to WJN radio transients, we found that one of the quasar counterparts within the positional error of WJN J0951+3300 could be a radio-loud quasar. We have discussed whether or not WJN J0951+3300 could be of this quasar origin.
