Search and analysis of giant radio galaxies with associated nuclei (SAGAN) [PDF]

open access: yesAstronomy and Astrophysics, 2020
Radio galaxies with jets of relativistic particles are usually hosted by massive elliptical galaxies with active nuclei powered by accretion of interstellar matter onto a supermassive black hole. In some rare cases (< 5%), their jets drive the overall structure to sizes larger than 700 kpc, and they are called giant radio galaxies (GRGs).

On the environments of giant radio galaxies [PDF]

open access: yesMonthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2021
ABSTRACT We test the hypothesis that environments play a key role in enabling the growth of enormous radio structures spanning more than 700 kpc, an extreme population of radio galaxies called giant radio galaxies (GRGs). To achieve this, we explore (1) the relationships between the occurrence of GRGs and the surface number density of ...

Giant radio galaxies – I. Intergalactic barometers [PDF]

open access: yesMonthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2013
We present new wideband radio observations with the Australia Telescope Compact Array of a sample of 12 giant radio galaxies. The radio observations are part of a larger radio-optical study aimed at relating the radio structures with the ambient medium on large scales.

Giant radio galaxies – II. Tracers of large-scale structure [PDF]

open access: yesMonthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2015
Open AccessWe have carried out optical spectroscopy with the Anglo-Australian Telescope for 24 726 objects surrounding a sample of 19 giant radio galaxies (GRGs) selected to have redshifts in the range 0.05–0.15 and projected linear sizes from 0.8 to 3.2

Giant radio galaxy NGC315

Nature, 1976
A giant radio source with an unusual Z-shaped structure extending over nearly one degree on the sky has been detected around the nearby elliptical galaxy NGC315. The source has structure aligned with the minor axis of the optical galaxy on linear scales ranging from a few tens of kpc to ~ 1.7 Mpc. There is also a bright compact (

Soft γ-ray selected radio galaxies: favouring giant size discovery [PDF]

open access: yesMonthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2016
Using the recent INTEGRAL/IBIS and Swift/BAT surveys we have extracted a sample of 64 confirmed plus three candidate radio galaxies selected in the soft gamma-ray band.
