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…
