Simulating megaparsec-scale jets of radio galaxies: Magneto-hydrodynamics of jets reaching 5 Mpc

Gourab Giri, Dario Borgogno, Marco Tavani +9

Extragalactic jets have long prompted the question of how far relativistic outflows can extend, with some radio sources reaching 5 - 7 Mpc in length. These great extents motivate i…

Galactic-scale evolution of classical and complex radio galaxies. Impact of ambient morphology and jet geometry

Gourab Giri, Prajnadipt Ghosh, Ravi Joshi +9

Extragalactic jets exhibit a wide range of propagation orientations relative to the host galaxy's principal axis. This study investigate the spatiotemporal evolution of jets as a f…

Performance assessment of the gPLUTO code for the numerical modeling of radio galaxy evolution

Gourab Giri, Andrea Mignone, Alessio Suriano +2

High-resolution tri-axial simulations are indispensable for realistically co-modeling the dynamical signatures and the radiative fingerprints of astrophysical jets, which are becom…

Origin of the double-peaked narrow emission-lines in the optical spectra of X-shaped Radio Galaxies

Ghosh Prajnadipt, Ravi Joshi, Xiaolong Yang +13

We investigate X-shaped radio galaxies (XRGs) with optical double-peaked narrow emission lines (DPNELs) as potential hosts of dual or binary supermassive black holes (SMBHs). Using…

Low-velocity precessing jets can explain observed morphologies in the Twin Radio Galaxy TRG J104454+354055

Santanu Mondal, Gourab Giri, Ravi Joshi +3

Our understanding of large-scale radio jets in merger systems has been drastically improved in the era of VLA, VLBA/EVN, uGMRT, and MeerKAT. Twin Radio Galaxies (TRGs) are the rare…

X-Shaped Radio Galaxies: Probing Jet Evolution, Ambient Medium Dynamics, and Their Intricate Interconnection

Gourab Giri, Christian Fendt, Kshitij Thorat +2

This review explores the field of X-shaped radio galaxies (XRGs), a distinctive subset of winged radio sources that are identified by two pairs of jetted lobes which aligned by a s…

Deciphering the morphological origins of X-shaped radio galaxies: Numerical modeling of Back-flow vs. Jet-reorientation

Gourab Giri, Bhargav Vaidya, Christian Fendt

X-shaped Radio Galaxies (XRGs) develop when certain extra-galactic jets deviate from their propagation path. An asymmetric ambient medium (Back-flow model) or complex Active Galact…

Modelling X-shaped Radio Galaxies: Dynamical and Emission Signatures from the Back-flow model

Gourab Giri, Bhargav Vaidya, Paola Rossi +3

Some of the radio galaxies show distortion in their jets, forming tailed or winged sources. X-shaped radio galaxies are a subclass of winged sources formation mechanism of which is…
