Probing the extended emission-line region in 3C171 with high-frequency radio polarimetry
M. J. Hardcastle
I present high-frequency polarimetric radio observations of the radio galaxy 3C171, in which depolarization is associated with an extended emission-line region. The radio hotspots,…
Unifying B2 radio galaxies with BL Lac objects
M. J. Hardcastle, D. M. Worrall, M. Birkinshaw +1
In an earlier paper we presented nuclear X-ray flux densities, measured with ROSAT, for the B2 bright sample of nearby low-luminosity radio galaxies. In this paper we construct a n…
Magnetic field strengths in the hotspots and lobes of three powerful FRII radio sources
M. J. Hardcastle, M. Birkinshaw, R. A. Cameron +3
We have made deep Chandra observations of three powerful FRII radio sources: two quasars (3C263 and 3C351) and one radio galaxy (3C330). X-ray emission from hotspots and lobes, as…
X-ray Detection of the Inner Jet in the Radio Galaxy M84
D. E. Harris, A. Finoguenov, A. H. Bridle +2
During the course of an investigation of the interaction of the radio galaxy M84 and its ambient cluster gas, we found excess X-ray emission aligned with the northern radio jet. Th…
The X-ray jet and halo of PKS 0521-365
M. Birkinshaw, D. M. Worrall, M. J. Hardcastle
Chandra ACIS observations of PKS 0521-365 find that the X-ray emission of this BL Lac object consists of emission from an unresolved core, a diffuse halo, and a 2 arcsec jet featur…
A Chandra observation of the X-ray environment and jet of 3C31
M. J. Hardcastle, D. M. Worrall, M. Birkinshaw +2
We have used a deep Chandra observation of the central regions of the twin-jet FRI radio galaxy 3C31 to resolve the thermal X-ray emission in the central few kiloparsecs of the hos…
