Jet-environment interactions in FRI radio galaxies
R. A. Laing, A. H. Bridle
There is now unequivocal evidence that the jets in FR I radio galaxies are initially relativistic, decelerating flows. On the assumption that they are axisymmetric and intrinsicall…
A Chandra observation of the X-ray environment and jet of 3C296
M. J. Hardcastle, D. M. Worrall, M. Birkinshaw +2
We have observed the twin-jet radio galaxy 3C296 with Chandra. X-ray emission is detected from the nucleus, from the inner parts of the radio jet, and from a small-scale thermal en…
The HST survey of the B2 sample of radio galaxies: detection of two optical jets
P. Parma, H. R. de Ruiter, A. Capetti +5
We present HST observations of previously undetected optical jets in the low-luminosity radio galaxies B2 0755+37 and B2 1553+24. We show that there is accurate spatial coincidence…
Dynamical models for jet deceleration in the radio galaxy 3C 31
R. A. Laing, A. H. Bridle
We present a dynamical analysis of the flow in the jets of the low-luminosity radio galaxy 3C 31 based on our earlier geometrical and kinematic model and on estimates of the extern…
Relativistic models and the jet velocity field in the radio galaxy 3C 31
R. A. Laing, A. H. Bridle
We show that the principal differences in appearance of the main and counter-jets within 30 arcsec of the nucleus of the low-luminosity radio galaxy 3C 31 can result entirely from…
Jet reorientation in AGN: two winged radio galaxies
J. Dennett-Thorpe, P. A. G. Scheuer, R. A. Laing +3
Winged, or X-shaped, radio sources form a small class of morphologically peculiar extragalactic sources. We present multi-frequency radio observations of two such sources. We deriv…
