Combining LOFAR and Apertif Data for Understanding the Life Cycle of Radio Galaxies

Raffaella Morganti, Nika Jurlin, Tom Oosterloo +10

Active galactic nuclei (AGN) at the centres of galaxies can cycle between periods of activity and of quiescence. Characterising the duty-cycle of AGN is crucial for understanding t…

A snapshot of the oldest AGN feedback phases

M. Brienza, T. W. Shimwell, F. de Gasperin +19

Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) inject large amounts of energy into their host galaxies and surrounding environment, shaping their properties and evolution. In particular, AGN jets in…

Multi-frequency characterisation of remnant radio galaxies in the Lockman Hole field

N. Jurlin, M. Brienza, R. Morganti +4

Remnant radio galaxies represent an important phase in the life-cycle of radio active galactic nuclei. It is suggested that in this phase, the jets have switched off and the extend…

Constraining the AGN duty cycle in the cool-core cluster MS 0735.6+7421 with LOFAR data

Nadia Biava, Marisa Brienza, Annalisa Bonafede +6

MS 0735.6+7421 is a galaxy cluster which hosts a central radio galaxy with a very steep spectrum, produced by one of the most powerful known jetted active galactic nuclei (AGN). Th…

Dissecting nonthermal emission in the complex multiple-merger galaxy cluster Abell 2744: Radio and X-ray analysis

K. Rajpurohit, F. Vazza, R. J. van Weeren +14

We present the first deep low frequency radio observations of the massive and highly disturbed galaxy cluster Abell 2744 using the upgraded Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (uGMRT).…

Hard X-ray selected giant radio galaxies -- III. The LOFAR view

G. Bruni, M. Brienza, F. Panessa +12

Giant radio galaxies (GRGs), with extended structures reaching hundreds of kpc, are among the most spectacular examples of ejection of relativistic plasma from super-massive black…
