The properties of the young stellar populations in powerful radio galaxies at low and intermediate redshifts

J. Holt, C. N. Tadhunter, R. M. Gonzalez Delgado +5

Abridged. We present high-quality optical spectra for 12 powerful radio sources at low and intermediate redshifts (z < 0.7) that show evidence for a substantial UV excess. These da…

15 years of VLBI observations of two compact radio sources in Messier 82

R. J. Beswick, J. D. Riley, I. Marti-Vidal +6

We present the results of a second epoch of 18cm global Very Long-Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) observations, taken on 23 February 2001, of the central kiloparsec of the nearby st…

Resolving the Shocks in Radio Galaxy Nebulae: HST and Radio Imaging of 3C 171, 3C277.3 and PKS2250-41

Avanti Tilak, Christopher P. O'Dea, Clive Tadhunter +5

We present the results of HST/WFPC2 medium and narrow band imaging and VLA and MERLIN2 radio imaging of three powerful radio galaxies: 3C 171, 3C 277.3, and PKS 2250-41. We obtaine…

Monitoring of the prompt radio emission from the unusual supernova 2004dj in NGC2403

R. J. Beswick, T. W. B. Muxlow, M. K. Argo +3

Supernova 2004dj in the nearby spiral galaxy NGC2403 was detected optically in July 2004. Peaking at a magnitude of 11.2, this is the brightest supernova detected for several years…

OH in Messier 82

M. K. Argo, A. Pedlar, T. W. B. Muxlow +4

Several new main line OH masers have been detected in the nearby starburst galaxy M82. Eight masers have been detected to 5 sigma, six of which are new detections. Observations cov…

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…
