Deviations from passive evolution - star formation and the UV excess in z~1 radio galaxies

K. J. Inskip, P. N. Best, M. S. Longair

Galaxy colours are determined for two samples of 6C and 3CR radio sources at z~1, differing by a factor of ~6 in radio power. Corrections are made for emission line contamination a…

HST and UKIRT imaging observations of z~1 6C radio galaxies - II. Galaxy morphologies and the alignment effect

K. J. Inskip, P. N. Best, M. S. Longair +1

(abridged) Powerful radio galaxies often display enhanced optical/UV emission regions, elongated and aligned with the radio jet axis. The aim of this series of papers is to separat…

Formation of internal shock waves in bent jets

S. Mendoza, M. S. Longair

We discuss the circumstances under which the bending of a jet can generate an internal shock wave. The analysis is carried out for relativistic and non-relativistic astrophysical j…

The emission line properties of the 3CR radio galaxies at redshift one: shocks, evolution, and the alignment effect

P. N. Best, H. J. A. R"ottgering, M. S. Longair

The results of a deep spectroscopic campaign on powerful radio galaxies with redshifts z ~ 1, to investigate in detail their emission line gas properties, are presented. Both the 2…

Studies of a sample of 6C radio galaxies at redshift one, I -- Deep multi-frequency radio observations

P. N. Best, S. A. Eales, S. Rawlings +2

Deep radio observations at 5 and 8 GHz are presented of a complete sample of 11 radio galaxies with redshifts 0.85 < z < 1.5, selected from the 6C sample of Eales. The radio data,…

Deep radio observations of 3C324 and 3C368: evidence for jet-cloud interactions

P. N. Best, C. Carilli, S. T. Garrington +2

High resolution, deep radio images are presented for two distant radio galaxies, 3C324 (z=1.206) and 3C368 (z=1.132), which are both prime examples of the radio-optical alignment e…
