The giant radio source 0917+75: Origin and properties
Context. Several author have studied the giant radio source GRS0917 + 75, but its origin remains unclear. Aims. This source is unusual, because of its large size and its location outside a rich cluster of galaxies.

A Simulation Study of Low-power Relativistic Jets: Flow Dynamics and Radio Morphology of FR-I Jets
Radio galaxies are classified into two primary categories based on their morphology: center-brightened FR-I and edge-brightened FR-II. It is believed that the jet power and interactions with the ambient medium govern the deceleration and decollimation of

On the relation between Fanaroff-Riley types I and II radio galaxies
Recent optical observations of radio galaxies reveal a transition from F-R II morphology to F-R I morphology with increasing optical luminosity at fixed radio luminosity. This transition can occur if a highly supersonic jet which normally fuels F-R II sources is instead strongly decelerated near the nucleus, producing the transonic or subsonic flow ...

Very Large Array imaging of five Fanaroff-Riley II 3CR radio galaxies
This paper presents high resolution, high dynamic range Very Large Array (VLA) radio images of five luminous classical double radio galaxies (RGs) at 5 GHz. We detect the radio cores of at least four of these RGs. A long, continuous radio jet is seen only in one source, 3C 22, in contrast to the 100% jet detection in a comparable sample of QSRs ...

Optical polarimetry studies of Seyfert galaxies [PDF]
Optical imaging polarimetry has been performed on seven nearby Seyfert galaxies, three with face-on and four with edge-on host galaxies of various morphological classifications.

Structures of the magnetoionic media around the Fanaroff-Riley Class I radio galaxies 3C 31 and Hydra A [PDF]
We use high-quality Very Large Array (VLA) images of the Fanaroff-Riley Class I radio galaxy 3C 31 at six frequencies in the range 1365-8440 MHz to explore the spatial scale and origin of the rotation measure (RM) fluctuations on the line of sight to the radio source.

Identification of Large-scale (>100 kpc) Radio Jets in Narrow-line Seyfert 1 Galaxies
Powerful, large-scale relativistic jets are usually associated with massive, old elliptical galaxies. This paradigm has recently been challenged by the identification of narrow-line Seyfert 1 (NLSy1) galaxies, thought to be young active galactic nuclei ...

Model Spectrum of Ultrahigh-energy Cosmic Rays Accelerated in FR-I Radio Galaxy Jets
Nearby radio galaxies (RGs) of Fanaroff–Riley Class I (FR-I) are considered possible sites for the production of observed ultrahigh-energy cosmic rays (UHECRs). Among those, some exhibit blazar-like inner jets, while others display plume-like structures.

QUINTESSENCE, COSMOLOGY, AND FANAROFF-RILEY TYPE IIb RADIO GALAXIES
Fanaroff-Riley type IIb (FR IIb) radio galaxies provide a modified standard yardstick that allows con-straints to be placed on global cosmological parameters.

Optical nuclei of radio-loud AGN and the Fanaroff-Riley divide
We investigate the nature of the point-like optical nuclei that have been found in the centres of the host galaxies of a majority of radio galaxies by the Hubble Space Telescope.
