The estimate of kinetic powers of jets in FRII radio galaxies: existence of invisible components?

H. Ito, M. Kino, N. Kawakatu +2

We investigate the total kinetic powers (L_j) and ages (t_age) of powerful jets in FR II radio galaxies by comparison of the dynamical model of expanding cocoons with observations.…

Constraint of Non-thermal X-ray Emission from the On-going Merger Cluster Abell 3376 with Suzaku

Naomi Kawano, Yasushi Fukazawa, Sho Nishino +10

Clusters of galaxies are among the best candidates for particle acceleration sources in the universe, a signature of which is non-thermal hard X-ray emission from the accelerated r…
