The Discovery of 63 Giant Radio Galaxies in the FIRST Survey
Soren Ramdhanie, Yjan A. Gordon, Heinz Andernach +2
Giant Radio Galaxies (GRGs) are Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) with radio emission that extends over projected sizes Mpc. The large angular sizes associated with GRGs complic…
Hydra II: Characterisation of Aegean, Caesar, ProFound, PyBDSF, and Selavy source finders
M. M. Boyce, A. M. Hopkins, S. Riggi +24
We present a comparison between the performance of a selection of source finders using a new software tool called Hydra. The companion paper, Paper~I, introduced the Hydra tool and…
Hydra I: An extensible multi-source-finder comparison and cataloguing tool
M. M. Boyce, A. M. Hopkins, S. Riggi +24
The latest generation of radio surveys are now producing sky survey images containing many millions of radio sources. In this context it is highly desirable to understand the perfo…
Compact Steep Spectrum Radio Sources with Enhanced Star Formation are Smaller than kpc
Yjan A. Gordon, Christopher P. O'Dea, Stefi A. Baum +3
Compact Steep Spectrum (CSS) radio sources are active galactic nuclei that have radio jets propagating only on galactic scales, defined as having projected linear sizes (LS) of up…
Galaxy interactions are the dominant trigger for local type 2 quasars
J. C. S. Pierce, C. Tadhunter, C. Ramos Almeida +8
The triggering mechanism for the most luminous, quasar-like active galactic nuclei (AGN) remains a source of debate, with some studies favouring triggering via galaxy mergers, but…
A Quick Look at the 3GHz Radio Sky. II. Hunting for DRAGNs in the VLA Sky Survey
Yjan A. Gordon, Lawrence Rudnick, Heinz Andernach +9
Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) can often be identified in radio images as two lobes, sometimes connected to a core by a radio jet. This multi-component morphology unfortunately creat…
