Near-infrared Hubble Space Telescope polarimetry of a complete sample of narrow-line radio galaxies

E. A. Ramírez, C. N. Tadhunter, D. Axon +5

We present an analysis of 2.05 m Hubble Space Telescope (HST) polarimetric data for a sample of 13 nearby Fanaroff-Riley type II (FRII) 3CR radio sources () that ar…

Exploring the spectroscopic properties of relic radiogalaxies

Alessandro Capetti, Andrew Robinson, Ranieri D. Baldi +4

From an optical spectroscopic survey of 3CR radiogalaxies (RGs) with z<0.3, we discovered three objects characterized by an extremely low level of gas excitation and a large defici…

Spectroastrometry of rotating gas disks for the detection of supermassive black holes in galactic nuclei. III. CRIRES observations of the Circinus galaxy

A. Gnerucci, A. Marconi, A. Capetti +2

We present new CRIRES spectroscopic observations of BrGamma in the nuclear region of the Circinus galaxy, obtained with the aim of measuring the black hole (BH) mass with the spect…

A Displaced Supermassive Black Hole in M87

D. Batcheldor, A. Robinson, D. J. Axon +2

Isophotal analysis of M87, using data from the Advanced Camera for Surveys, reveals a projected displacement of 6.8 +/- 0.8 pc (~ 0.1 arcsec) between the nuclear point source (pres…

Spectroastrometry of rotating gas disks for the detection of supermassive black holes in galactic nuclei. I. Method and simulations

A. Gnerucci, A. Marconi, A. Capetti +2

This is the first in a series of papers in which we study the application of spectroastrometry in the context of gas kinematical studies aimed at measuring the mass of supermassive…

The origin of the infrared emission in radio galaxies II: analysis of mid- to far-infrared Spitzer observations of the 2Jy sample

D. Dicken, C. Tadhunter, D. Axon +5

We present an analysis of deep mid- to far-infrared (MFIR) Spitzer photometric observations of the southern 2Jy sample of powerful radio sources (0.05 < z < 0.7), conducting a stat…
