RAD@home discovery of a bow-and-arrow radio galaxy tracing a ~560 kpc bow-shock structure in a multi-halo environment

Ananda Hota, Pratik Dabhade, Shubhrangshu Ghosh +9

We report the RAD@home citizen science discovery of a unique bow-and-arrow-shaped radio galaxy (BAARG; RAD J104501.6+352852, z = 0.159) identified in LoTSS DR2. The source exhibits…

RAD@home discovery of extragalactic radio rings and odd radio circles: clues to their origins

Ananda Hota, Pratik Dabhade, Prasun Machado +3

We present three rare and striking extragalactic radio sources discovered through visual inspection of low-frequency continuum maps from LoTSS DR2 and TGSS by the RAD@home citizen-…

RAD@home citizen science discovery of two spiral galaxies where the 30-220 kpc radio lobes are possibly shaped by ram pressure stripping

Prakash Apoorva, Ananda Hota, Pratik Dabhade +3

We report the RAD@home citizen science discovery of two rare spiral-host radio galaxies (NGC 3898 and WISEA J221656.57-132042434.1 or RAD-"Thumbs up" galaxy), both exhibiting asymm…

Ten years of searching for relics of AGN jet feedback through RAD@home citizen science

Ananda Hota, Pratik Dabhade, Prasun Machado +15

Understanding the evolution of galaxies cannot exclude the important role played by the central supermassive black hole and the circumgalactic medium (CGM). Simulations have strong…
