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.

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.

A DEEP CHANDRA OBSERVATION OF THE X-SHAPED RADIO GALAXY 4C +00.58: A CANDIDATE FOR MERGER-INDUCED REORIENTATION? [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2010 Although rapid reorientation of a black hole spin axis (lasting less than a few Myr) has been suggested as a mechanism for the formation of wings in X-shaped radio galaxies (XRGs), to date no convincing case of reorientation has been found in any XRG. Alternative wing formation models such as the hydrodynamic backflow models are supported by observed ...

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 ...
