The HST snapshot survey of the B2 sample of low luminosity radio-galaxies: a picture gallery
A Hubble Space Telescope snapshot survey of the B2 sample of low luminosity radio galaxies has, at present, produced V and I images of 41 objects. Together with 16 images of B2 sources taken from the HST archive, there are now high resolution optical data for ∼ 57% of the sample. All host galaxies are luminous ellipticals, except one which is a spiral galaxy, while another one turns out to be a...
متن کاملThe HST survey of the B2 sample of radio galaxies: detection of two optical jets
An abstract should be given e present HST observations of previously undetected optical jets in the low-luminosity radio galaxies B2 0755+37 and B2 1553+24. We show that there is accurate spatial coincidence between optical and radio emission, implying that the former is likely to be synchrotron radiation. The physical properties of the jets are similar to those known previously: their radio-op...
متن کاملA relativistic mixing-layer model for jets in low-luminosity radio galaxies
We present an analytical model for jets in Fanaroff & Riley Class I (FR I) radio galaxies, in which an initially laminar, relativistic flow is surrounded by a shear layer. We apply the appropriate conservation laws to constrain the jet parameters, starting the model where the radio emission is observed to brighten abruptly. We assume that the laminar flow fills the jet there and that pressure b...
متن کاملRadio Cores in Low-Luminosity AGN: ADAFs or Jets?
We have surveyed two large samples of nearby low-luminosity AGN with the VLA to search for flat-spectrum radio cores, similar to Sgr A* in the Galactic Center. Roughly one third of all galaxies are detected (roughly one half if HII transition objects are excluded from the sample), many of which have compact radio cores. Follow-up observations with the VLBA have confirmed that these cores are no...
متن کاملSummary of sessions B1/B2 and B2: relativistic astrophysics and numerical relativity
The numerical relativity session at GR18 was dominated by physics results on binary black hole mergers. Several groups can now simulate these from a time when the post-Newtonian equations of motion are still applicable, through several orbits and the merger to the ringdown phase, obtaining plausible gravitational waves at infinity, and showing some evidence of convergence with resolution. The r...
