Radio Loud and Radio Quiet Active Galactic Nuclei [PDF]

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal, 1999
We generated a sample of 409 AGNs for which both the radio luminosity at 5 GHz and the line luminosity in [OIII] 5007 have been measured. The radio luminosity spans a range of ten orders of magnitude, and the [OIII] line luminosity spans a range of eight

Recurrent radio activity in active galactic nuclei [PDF]

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2012
There has been a growing body of persuasive evidence to indicate that AGN activity, powered by mass accretion onto a supermassive black hole, can involve multiple episodes.

On the radio dichotomy of active galactic nuclei [PDF]

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2016
It is still a mystery why only a small fraction of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) contain relativistic jets. Strong magnetic field is a necessary ingredient for jet formation, however, the advection of the external field in a geometrically thin disk is ...

Unified Schemes for Radio-Loud Active Galactic Nuclei [PDF]

open access: yesPublications of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 1995
The appearance of active galactic nuclei (AGN) depends so strongly on orientation that our current classification schemes are dominated by random pointing directions instead of more interesting physical properties.

Changing-Look AGNs or Short-Lived Radio Sources? [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2017
The evolution of extragalactic radio sources has been a fundamental problem in the study of active galactic nuclei for many years. A standard evolutionary model has been created based on observations of a wide range of radio sources.

Gamma Ray Bursts and Radio Loud Active Galactic Nuclei [PDF]

open access: yesAIP Conference Proceedings, 2003
We believe that the radiation we receive from Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) and radio loud Active Galacti Nuclei (AGNs) originates from the transformation of bulk relativistic motion into random energy. Mechanisms to produce, collimate and accelerates the jets

Radio Properties of Low Redshift Broad Line Active Galactic Nuclei [PDF]

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal, 2008
The question as to whether the distribution of radio-loudness in active galactic nuclei (AGN) is actually bimodal has been discussed extensively in the literature.

Revealing two radio active galactic nuclei extremely near PSR J0437$-$4715 [PDF]

open access: yesMonthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2018
Newton's gravitational constant $G$ may vary with time at an extremely low level. The time variability of $G$ will affect the orbital motion of a millisecond pulsar in a binary system and cause a tiny difference between the orbital period-dependent ...

X-ray Properties of Radio-Selected Dual Active Galactic Nuclei [PDF]

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2019
Merger simulations predict that tidally induced gas inflows can trigger kpc-scale dual active galactic nuclei (dAGN) in heavily obscured environments. Previously with the Very Large Array, we have confirmed four dAGN with redshifts between $0.04 < z < 0 ...

Radio observations of active galactic nuclei with mm-VLBI [PDF]

open access: yesThe Astronomy and Astrophysics Review, 2017
Over the past few decades, our knowledge of jets produced by active galactic nuclei (AGN) has greatly progressed thanks to the development of very-long-baseline interferometry (VLBI).
