"Normal" FRII Radio Galaxies as a Probe of the Nature of X-Shaped Radio Sources

Dharam Vir Lal, Martin J. Hardcastle, Ralph P. Kraft

We present a multiwavelength radio study of a sample of nearby Fanaroff-Riley class II (FRII) radio galaxies, matched with the sample of known X-shaped radio sources in size, morph…

GMRT study of X-shaped radio sources

Dharam Vir Lal, A. Pramesh Rao, Martin J. Hardcastle +5

Context. The nature of X-shaped sources is a matter of considerable debate in the literature: it has even been proposed that they provide evidence for black-hole-mergers/spin-reori…

XMM-Newton Observations of the Nuclei of the Radio Galaxies 3C 305, DA 240, and 4C 73.08

Daniel A. Evans, Martin J. Hardcastle, Julia C. Lee +4

We present new XMM-Newton EPIC observations of the nuclei of the nearby radio galaxies 3C 305, DA 240, and 4C 73.08, and investigate the origin of their nuclear X-ray emission. The…

Evidence for Non-Hydrostatic Gas Motions in the Hot ISM of Centaurus A

R. P. Kraft, M. J. Hardcastle, G. R. Sivakoff +16

We present preliminary results from a deep (600 ks) {\em Chandra} observation of the hot interstellar medium of the nearby early-type galaxy Centaurus A (Cen A). We find a surface…

A Radio Through X-ray Study of the Jet/Companion-Galaxy Interaction in 3C 321

Daniel A. Evans, Wen-Fai Fong, Martin J. Hardcastle +6

We present a multiwavelength study of the nucleus, environment, jets, and hotspots of the nearby FRII radio galaxy 3C 321, using new and archival data from MERLIN, the VLA, Spitzer…

Globular Clusters and X-ray Point Sources in Centaurus A (NGC 5128)

Kristin A. Woodley, Somak Raychaudhury, Ralph P. Kraft +6

We detect 353 X-ray point sources, mostly low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs), in four Chandra observations of Centaurus A (NGC 5128), the nearest giant early-type galaxy, and correlat…
