Starbursts and the triggering of the activity in nearby powerful radio galaxies
C. Tadhunter, T. G. Robinson, R. M. Gonzalez Delgado +2
We present high quality long-slit spectra for three nearby powerful radio galaxies 3C293, 3C305, PKS1345+12. These were taken with the aim of characterising the young stellar popul…
Emission lines and optical continuum in low-luminosity radio galaxies
K. A. Wills, R. Morganti, C. N. Tadhunter +2
We present spectroscopic observations of a complete sub-sample of 13 low-luminosity radio galaxies selected from the 2Jy sample. The underlying continuum in these sources is carefu…
Spectroscopy of the near-nuclear regions of Cygnus A: estimating the mass of the supermassive black hole
C. Tadhunter, A. Marconi, D. Axon +3
We use a combination of high spatial resolution optical and near-IR spectroscopic data to make a detailed study of the kinematics of the NLR gas in the near-nuclear regions of the…
The origin of the UV excess in powerful radio galaxies: spectroscopy and polarimetry of a complete sample of intermediate redshift radio galaxies
C. Tadhunter, R. Dickson, R. Morganti +4
We present spectroscopic and polarimetric observations of a complete, optically unbiased sample of 2Jy radio galaxies at intermediate redshifts (0.15 < z < 0.7). These data -- whic…
Testing the photoionization models of powerful radio galaxies: Mixed line-emitting media in 3C 321
T. G. Robinson, C. N. Tadhunter, D. J. Axon +1
The photoionization models for the narrow emission line regions of powerful radio galaxies have yet to be tested in depth. To this end, we present high-quality long-slit spectrosco…
