Hst and Vla Observations of the H 2 O
We present HST/WFPC2 images in Hα+[N II]λλ6548,6583 lines and continuum radiation and a VLA map at 8 GHz of the H2O gigamaser galaxy TXS2226-184. This galaxy has the most luminous H2Omaser emission known to date. Our red continuum images reveal a highly elongated galaxy with a dust lane crossing the nucleus. The surface brightness profile is best fitted by a bulge plus exponential disk model, f...
متن کاملSpitzer Reveals Hidden Quasar Nuclei in Some Powerful FR II Radio Galaxies
We present a Spitzer mid-infrared survey of 42 Fanaroff-Riley class II radio galaxies and quasars from the 3CRR catalog at redshift z < 1. All of the quasars and 45±12% of the narrow-line radio galaxies have a mid-IR luminosity of νLν(15μm) > 8 × 10 43 erg s, indicating strong thermal emission from hot dust in the active galactic nucleus. Our results demonstrate the power of Spitzer to unveil d...
متن کاملUv Spectropolarimetry of Narrow-line Radio Galaxies
We present the results of UV spectropolarimetry (λrest ≃ 2000 − 3000Å) and far-UV spectroscopy (λrest ≃ 1500 − 2000Å) of two low-redshift narrow-line radio galaxies (NLRGs) taken with the Faint Object Spectrograph onboard the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). Spectropolarimetry of several NLRGs has shown that, by the presence of broad permitted lines in polarized flux spectrum, they have hidden qua...
متن کاملHST images of B 2 radio galaxies : a link between circum - nuclear dust and radio properties ? ⋆
An abstract should be given abstract Almost 60 % of the B2 low luminosity radio galaxies have been observed with the Hubble Space Telescope. We present an analysis of the dust features, which are often present in the form of circum-nuclear disks or lanes, and show that there are correlations between radio source and dust properties. It is found that nearby radio sources in which a jet has been ...
متن کاملThe Hst View of the Narrow Line Region of Seyfert Galaxies
HST observations provided us with the spatial resolution required to explore in detail the properties of the Narrow Line Region of Seyfert galaxies. In Seyferts with extended radio structures the HST images revealed a very close connection between radio and optical line emission. We interpret this result as strong evidence that the line-emitting gas is compressed by the shocks created by the pa...
