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…

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…

Ionized Gas Outflows in Low Excitation Radio Galaxies Are Radiation Driven

Mainak Singha, Christopher P. O'Dea, Yjan A. Gordon +2

Low excitation radio galaxies (LERGs) are weakly accreting active galactic nuclei (AGN) believed to be fuelled by radiatively inefficient accretion processes. Despite this, recent…

A Quick Look at the GHz Radio Sky I. Source Statistics from the Very Large Array Sky Survey

Yjan A. Gordon, Michelle M. Boyce, Christopher P. O'Dea +8

The Very Large Array Sky Survey (VLASS) is observing the entire sky north of in the S-band (GHz), with the highest angular resolution () of any all-sk…
