A new sample of giant radio galaxies from the WENSS survey: I - Sample definition, selection effects and first results
A. P. Schoenmakers, A. G. de Bruyn, H. J. A. Rottgering +1
We have used the Westerbork Northern Sky Survey (WENSS) to define a sample of 47 low redshift (z < 0.4) giant radio galaxies. This is the largest sample yet of such radio sources o…
A new sample of giant radio galaxies from the WENSS survey II - A multi-frequency radio study of a complete sample: Properties of the radio lobes and their environment
A. P. Schoenmakers, K. -H. Mack, A. G. de Bruyn +3
We have formed a complete sample of 26 low redshift (z < 0.3) giant radio galaxies (GRGs) from the WENSS survey, selected at flux densities above 1 Jy at 325 MHz. We present 10.5-G…
The radio source B 1834+620: A double-double radio galaxy with interesting properties
Arno P. Schoenmakers, A. G. de Bruyn, H. J. A. Rottgering +1
We present a study of the peculiar radio galaxy B 1834+620. It is characterised by the presence of a 420-kpc large edge-brightened radio source which is situated within, and well a…
Radio galaxies with a `double-double' morphology: I - Analysis of the radio properties and evidence for interrupted activity in active galactic nuclei
Arno P. Schoenmakers, A. G. de Bruyn, H. J. A. Rottgering +2
We present four Mpc-sized radio galaxies which consist of a pair of double-lobed radio sources, aligned along the same axis, and with a coinciding radio core. We have called these…
