Discovery of X-shaped morphology of the giant radio galaxy 0503-286
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2022 The high surface-brightness sensitivity of the galactic and extragalactic all-sky mwa survey (GLEAM) image of the giant radio galaxy (GRG) 0503-28 at 70–230 MHz has revealed an inversion-symmetric bending of its two lobes, while maintaining a ∼200 kpc wide strip-like radio emission gap between their bent portions.

HYDRODYNAMIC MODELS OF RADIO GALAXY MORPHOLOGY: WINGED AND X-SHAPED SOURCES [PDF]
The 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. With a focus on the "winged" and "X-shaped" radio galaxy population, we confirm the importance of observed trends such as the connection ...

Relationship between X-shaped radio sources and double-double radio galaxies [PDF]
Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2006 AbstractBoth the X-shaped radio galaxies and double-double radio galaxies (DDRGs) are suggested in the literature to be due to the binary-accretion disk interaction or to the coalescence of SMBBHs. These models suggest some relationship between the two types of radio sources. In this paper, we collected data from literatures for two samples of X-shaped

X-Shaped Radio Galaxies and the Nanohertz Gravitational Wave Background [PDF]
Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2015 AbstractCoalescence of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) in galaxy mergers is potentially the dominant contributor to the low frequency gravitational wave background (GWB). It was proposed by Merritt & Ekers that X-shaped radio galaxies are signposts of such coalescences and that their abundance might be used to predict the magnitude of the GWB ...

Host Galaxies of X-Shaped Radio Sources [PDF]
, 2006 The majority of radiation from galaxies containing active galactic nuclei (AGNs) is emitted not by the stars composing the galaxy, but from an active source at the galactic center, most likely a supermassive black hole. Of particular interest are radio galaxies, the active galaxies emitting much of their radiation at radio wavelengths.

X-shaped radio galaxy 3C 223.1: A ‘double boomerang’ with an anomalous spectral gradient
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2022 A comparison of the recent LOFAR 144 MHz map of the radio source 3C 223.1 (J094124.028+394441.95) with the VLA maps at 4.9 GHz and 8.3 GHz that we built based on archival data, establishes this X-shaped radio galaxy (XRG) as a singularly robust case where the ‘wings’ exhibit a distinctly flatter radio spectrum than the primary lobes. The details of its

X-shaped Radio Galaxies: Optical Properties, Large-scale Environment, and Relationship to Radio Structure [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2019 Abstract In pursuit of clues to the origin of “winged” or X-shaped radio galaxies (XRGs) we investigate the parent galaxies of a large sample of 106 XRGs for optical–radio axes alignment, interstellar medium, black hole mass, and large-scale environment.

Multifrequency JVLA observations of the X-shaped radio galaxy in Abell 3670 [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2019 Context.X-shaped radio galaxies (XRGs) exhibit a pair of bright primary lobes and a pair of weak secondary lobes (“wings”), which are oriented with an angle that gives the structure a cross-like shape. Though several theoretical models have been proposed to explain their origin, there is currently not a general consensus on a formation scenario.Aims.We

On the origin of X-shaped radio-sources: New insights from the properties of their host galaxies [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 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 re-examine the origin of these extensions relating the radio morphology to the properties of their ...
