Late-Time X-ray Observations of the Transient Source Cygnus A-2
Bradford Snios, Martijn De Vries, Paul E. J. Nulsen +3
We examine Chandra observations of the powerful Fanaroff-Riley class II (FR II) radio galaxy Cygnus A for an X-ray counterpart to the radio transient Cygnus A-2 that was first dete…
The X-Ray Cavity Around Hotspot E in Cygnus A: Tunneled by a Deflected Jet
Bradford Snios, Amalya C. Johnson, Paul E. J. Nulsen +5
The powerful FR II radio galaxy Cygnus A exhibits primary and secondary hotspots in each lobe. A 2 Msec Chandra X-ray image of Cygnus A has revealed an approximately circular hole,…
Evidence for a TDE origin of the radio transient Cygnus A-2
Martijn N. de Vries, Michael W. Wise, Paul E. J. Nulsen +3
In 2015, a radio transient named Cygnus A-2 was discovered in Cygnus A with the Very Large Array. Because of its radio brightness ( erg s), th…
Simulations of the merging cluster of galaxies Cygnus A
Timo Halbesma, Julius Donnert, Martijn de Vries +1
The archetype FR-II galaxy Cygnus A lies in a moderately rich cluster about to undergo a major merger. We study the pre-merger Cygnus cluster environment using smoothed particle hy…
Detection of non-thermal X-ray emission in the lobes and jets of Cygnus A
M. N. de Vries, M. W. Wise, D. Huppenkothen +7
We present a spectral analysis of the lobes and X-ray jets of Cygnus A, using more than 2 Ms of observations. The X-ray jets are misaligned with the radio jets a…
The Cocoon Shocks of Cygnus A: Pressures and Their Implications for the Jets and Lobes
Bradford Snios, Paul E. J. Nulsen, Michael W. Wise +18
We use 2.0 Msec of Chandra observations to investigate the cocoon shocks of Cygnus A and some implications for its lobes and jet. Measured shock Mach numbers vary in the range 1.18…
