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 ...

Discovery of an unusual radio galaxy with a hybrid double-double and X-shaped morphology [PDF]
Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2012 AbstractWe report the discovery of the first ‘X’-shaped double-double radio galaxy (DDRG), MRC0929+164 (J0932+1611), from FIRST radio survey. The intersection angle of the lines of two pairs of radio lobes is around 20.6° for this object, much larger than other DDRGs.

GMRT Low-frequency Imaging of an Extended Sample of X-shaped Radio Galaxies [PDF]
The Astronomical Journal, 2019 Abstract We present a low-frequency imaging study of an extended sample of X-shaped radio sources using the Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (GMRT) at two frequencies (610 and 240 MHz). The sources were drawn from a Very Large Array Radio Images of the Sky at Twenty-Centimeters (FIRST) selected sample and extend an initial GMRT study at ...

Modelling X-shaped radio galaxies: Dynamical and emission signatures from the Back-flow model
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2022 Context. Active galactic nuclei typically show the presence of radio jets ranging from sub-kiloparsec to megaparsec scales. Some of these radio galaxies show distortion in their jets, forming tailed or winged sources. X-shaped radio galaxies (XRGs) are a sub-class of winged sources, the formation mechanism of which is still unclear. Aims.

Detection of a parsec-scale, compact, and fading ejecta from an accreting massive black hole
Astronomy & AstrophysicsDwarf galaxies, characterized by their low luminosities and masses, are excellent candidates for searches for intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs), particularly when they show strong accretion and ejection activity.

The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 2023 Abstract X-shaped radio galaxies (XRGs) develop when certain extragalactic jets deviate from their propagation path. An asymmetric ambient medium (backflow model) or complex active galactic nucleus activity (jet-reorientation model) enforcing the jet direction to deviate may cause these structures.
