The Orientation of Jets Relative to Dust Disks in Radio Galaxies
We use HST broad band images, VLA and VLBI continuum data to study the three dimensional orientation of jets relative to nuclear dust disks in 20 radio galaxies. The comparison between the position angles of the jets with those of the dust disks major axes shows a wide distribution, suggesting that they are not aligned preferentially perpendicular to each other. We use a statistical technique t...
متن کاملThe Orientation of Accretion Disks Relative to Dust Disks in Radio Galaxies
We study the orientation of accretion disks, traced by the position angle of the jet, relative to the dust disk major axis in a sample of 20 nearby Radio Galaxies. We find that the observed distribution of angles between the jet and dust disk major axis is consistent with jets homogeneously distributed over a polar cap of 77◦.
متن کاملA dichotomy in the orientation of dust and radio jets in nearby low - power radio galaxies ⋆
We examine the properties of central dust in nearby quiescent and active early-type galaxies. The active galaxies are low-power radio galaxies with Fanaroff & Riley Type I or I/II radio jets. We focus on (a) the comparison of the dust distributions in the active and quiescent galaxy samples and (b) the relation between the radio jet and dust orientations. Our main observational conclusions are:...
متن کاملFace-on dust disks in galaxies with optical jets
The presence of optical synchrotron jets in radio galaxies is relatively rare. Here, we show that of the nearest five FR-I 3CR radio galaxies showing optical jets, four show evidence for almost circular, presumably face-on, dust disks. This is strong support for the two-fold idea that (i) jets emerge close to perpendicular to inner gas disks and (ii) optical non-thermal synchrotron emission is ...
متن کاملThe Relative Orientation of Nuclear Accretion and Galaxy Stellar Disks in Seyfert Galaxies
We use the difference (δ) between the position angles of the nuclear radio emission and the host galaxy major axis to investigate the distribution of the angle (β) between the axes of the nuclear accretion disk and the host galaxy disk in Seyfert galaxies. We provide a critical appraisal of the quality of all measurements, and find that the data are limited by observational uncertainties and bi...
