How does the radio enhancement of broad absorption line quasars relate to colour and accretion rate?

J. W. Petley, L. K. Morabito, A. L. Rankine +8

The origin of radio emission in different populations of radio-quiet quasars is relatively unknown, but recent work has uncovered various drivers of increased radio-detection fract…

MIGHTEE: multi-wavelength counterparts in the COSMOS field

I. H. Whittam, M. Prescott, C. L. Hale +26

In this paper we combine the Early Science radio continuum data from the MeerKAT International GHz Tiered Extragalactic Exploration (MIGHTEE) Survey, with optical and near-infrared…

3D tomography of the giant Ly nebulae of 3--5 radio-loud AGN

Wuji Wang, Dominika Wylezalek, Joël Vernet +12

Ly emission nebulae are ubiquitous around high-z galaxies and are tracers of the gaseous environment on scales out to >100 kpc. High-z radio galaxies (HzRGs, type-2 radio-loud q…

Faint [CI](1-0) emission in z 3.5 radio galaxies

S. Kolwa, C. De Breuck, J. Vernet +6

We present Atacama Large Millimeter/sub-millimeter Array (ALMA) neutral carbon, [C I](1-0), line observations that probe molecular hydrogen gas (H) within seven radio galaxies…

Feeding the spider with carbon -- [CII] emission from the circum galactic medium and active galactic nucleus

Carlos De Breuck, Andreas Lundgren, Bjorn Emonts +3

We present the detection of [CII] 158um emission from the Spiderweb galaxy at z=2.1612 using the Atacama Pathfinder EXperiment. The line profile splits into an active galactic nucl…

Mapping the "invisible" circumgalactic medium around a z 4.5 radio galaxy with MUSE

Wuji Wang, Dominika Wylezalek, Carlos De Breuck +5

In this paper we present Multi Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (MUSE) integral field unit spectroscopic observations of the kpc Ly halo around the radio galaxy…

MUSE unravels the ionisation and origin of metal enriched absorbers in the gas halo of a z = 2.92 radio galaxy

S. Kolwa, J. Vernet, C. De Breuck +9

We have used the Multi-Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (MUSE) to study the circumgalactic medium (CGM) of a z = 2.92 radio galaxy, MRC 0943-242 by parametrising its emitting and absorb…

The relation between galaxy density and radio jet power for 1.4 GHz VLA selected AGN in Stripe 82

S. Kolwa, M. J. Jarvis, K. McAlpine +1

Using a Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA) L-band (1-2 GHz) survey covering \,deg of the Stripe 82 field, we have obtained a catalogue of 2716 radio AGN. For these…

Massive galaxies on the road to quenching: ALMA observations of powerful high redshift radio galaxies

Theresa Falkendal, Carlos De Breuck, Matthew D. Lehnert +10

We present 0.3" (band 6) and 1.5" (band 3) ALMA observations of the (sub)millimeter dust continuum emission for 25 radio galaxies at 1<z<5.2. Our survey reaches a rms flux density…

The MeerKAT International GHz Tiered Extragalactic Exploration (MIGHTEE) Survey

Matt J. Jarvis, A. R. Taylor, I. Agudo +54

The MIGHTEE large survey project will survey four of the most well-studied extragalactic deep fields, totalling 20 square degrees to Jy sensitivity at Giga-Hertz frequencies, as…

Are we seeing accretion flows in a 250kpc-sized Ly-alpha halo at z=3?

J. Vernet, M. D. Lehnert, C. De Breuck +8

Using MUSE on the ESO-VLT, we obtained a 4 hour exposure of the z=3.12 radio galaxy MRC0316-257. We detect features down to ~10^-19 erg/s/cm^2/arcsec^2 with the highest surface bri…
