Associated 21 - cm H i absorption towards the radio galaxy 3 C 452 ( J 2245 + 3941 )
We report the detection of 21-cm Hi absorption towards the core of the Fanaroff-Riley II radio galaxy 3C 452 (J2245+3941). The absorption profile is well resolved into three components; the strongest and narrowest component being coincident with the velocity corresponding to [O iii] emission lines while the other two components are blue-shifted with respect to it by ∼30 amd ∼115 km s −1. If the...
متن کاملRadio Afterglows of Gamma-Ray Bursts and Hypernovae at High Redshift, and their Potential for 21-cm Absorption Studies
We investigate the radio afterglows of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) and hypernovae (HNe) at high redshifts and quantify their detectability, as well as their potential usefulness for 21 cm absorption line studies of the intergalactic medium (IGM) and intervening structures. We examine several sets of source and environment model parameters that are physically plausible at high redshifts. The radio a...
متن کاملThe 21 cm Forest: Radio Absorption Spectra as a Probe of the Intergalactic Medium Before Reionization
We study the absorption along lines of sight toward high-z radio sources caused by the 21 cm transition of neutral hydrogen in the intergalactic medium (IGM) before reionization. Using semi-analytic methods, we compute the number density of observable features caused by both “minihalos” (bound objects that are unable to cool efficiently because of their small virial temperatures) and protogalac...

متن کاملOn Associating Fast Radio Bursts with Afterglows
A radio source that faded over 6 days, with a redshift z ≈ 0.5 host, has been identified by Keane et al. (2016) as the transient afterglow to a Fast Radio Burst (FRB 150418). We report followup radio and optical observations of the afterglow candidate, and find a source that is consistent with an active galactic nucleus (AGN). If the afterglow-candidate is nonetheless a prototypical FRB aftergl...
