HYDRODYNAMIC MODELS OF RADIO GALAXY MORPHOLOGY: WINGED AND X-SHAPED SOURCES
Astrophysical Journal, 2011 We present three-dimensional hydrodynamic models of radio galaxies interacting with initially relaxed hot atmospheres and explore the significant off-axis radio lobe structures which result under certain conditions.

CGCG 292−057 - a radio galaxy with merger-modulated radio activity
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2012 We announce the discovery of a unique combination of features in a radio source identified with the merger galaxy CGCG 292-057. The radio galaxy both exhibits a highly complex, X-like structure and shows signs of recurrent activity in the form of double ...

Simulations of Precessing Jets and the Formation of X-shaped Radio Galaxies
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Jet precession is sometimes invoked to explain asymmetries in radio galaxy (RG) jets and “X/S/Z-shaped” RGs, caused by the presence of a binary black hole companion to the source active galactic nucleus or by accretion instabilities.

On the origin of X-shaped radio-sources: new insights from the properties of their host galaxies [PDF]
, 2002 A significant fraction of extended radio sources presents a peculiar X-shaped radio morphology: in addition to the classical double lobed structure, radio emission is also observed along a second axis of symmetry in the form of diffuse wings or tails. We

The Abundance of X-Shaped Radio Sources: Implications for the Gravitational Wave Background [PDF]
, 2015 Coalescence of super massive black holes (SMBH's) in galaxy mergers is potentially the dominant contributor to the low frequency gravitational wave background (GWB).

Constraints from Faraday rotation on the magnetic field structure in the Galactic halo [PDF]
, 2016 We examine the constraints imposed by Faraday rotation measures of extragalactic point sources on the structure of the magnetic field in the halo of our Galaxy.

Orientation and size of the `Z' in `X'-shaped radio galaxies [PDF]
, 2005 Some X-shaped radio galaxies show a Z-symmetric morphology in the less luminous secondary lobes. Within the scenario of a merger between two galaxies, each hosting a supermassive black hole in its center, this structure has been explained before: As the ...

, 2003 A supermassive black hole binary may form during galaxy mergering. we investigate the interaction of the supermassive binary black holes (SMBBHs) and an accretion disk and show that the detected X-shaped structure in some FRII radio galaxies may be due ...

The Origin of X-shaped Radio Galaxies: Clues from the Z-symmetric Secondary Lobes
, 2003 Existing radio images of a few X-shaped radio galaxies reveal Z-symmetric morphologies in their weaker secondary lobes which cannot be naturally explained by either the galactic merger or radio-lobe backflow scenarios, the two dominant models for these X-

FIRST "Winged" and X-shaped Radio Source Candidates: II. New Redshifts
, 2008 We report optical spectroscopic observations of X-shaped radio sources with the Hobby-Eberly Telescope and Multiple-Mirror Telescope, focused on the sample of candidates from the FIRST survey presented in Paper I (Cheung 2007).
