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…

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…

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…

Probing the formation of megaparsec-scale giant radio galaxies II. Continuum & polarization behavior from MHD simulations

Gourab Giri, Christian Fendt, Joydeep Bagchi +4

The persistence of radiative signatures in giant radio galaxies remains a frontier topic of research, with contemporary telescopes revealing intricate features that require investi…

HI gas in the rejuvenated radio galaxy PKS 2014-55

Leon Mtshweni, Kshitij Thorat, Roger P. Deane +17

We present new high-spectral-resolution MeerKAT observations of absorption against the central region of the restarted, giant, X-shaped radio galaxy PKS2014-55, which…
