Can the cosmic-ray driven dynamo model explain the observations of the polarized emission of edge-on galaxies ? [PDF]
In the present paper we construct maps of polarized synchrotron radio emission of a whole galaxy, based on local models of the cosmic ray (CR) driven dynamo.

A CO Funnel in the Galactic Centre: Molecular Counterpart of the Northern Galactic Chimney?
We report the discovery of a velocity coherent, funnel shaped ^13CO emission feature in the Galactic centre (GC) using data from the SEDIGISM survey. The molecular cloud appears as a low velocity structure (V_LSR=[-3.5, +3.5] km/s) with an angular extent

Radio Galaxy NGC 1265 unveils the Accretion Shock onto the Perseus Galaxy Cluster
We present a consistent 3D model for the head-tail radio galaxy NGC 1265 that explains the complex radio morphology and spectrum by a past passage of the galaxy and radio bubble through a shock wave. Using analytical solutions to the full Riemann problem

CHANG-ES XXXIV: Magnetic Field Structure in Edge-On Galaxies Characterising large-scale magnetic fields in galactic halos [PDF]
Understanding galactic magnetic fields is essential for interpreting feedback processes in galaxies. Despite their importance, the exact structure of these fields, particularly in galactic halos, remains unclear. Accurate descriptions are crucial for understanding the interaction between star formation and halo magnetisation.

Galactic and Extragalactic Magnetic Fields
The strength of the total magnetic field in our Milky Way from radio Zeeman and synchrotron measurements is about 6 muG near the Sun and several mG in dense clouds, pulsar wind nebulae, and filaments near the Galactic Center.

The peculiar radio galaxy 3C 433
Radio, optical, and x-ray observations are presented of the peculiar radio galaxy 3C 433. Two basic features characterize the radio morphology: namely, a striking asymmetry in the strength and shape of the radio emission and an overall x-shaped structure.

We use a phenomenological model to show that black hole growth in the local Universe (z < 0.1) can be described by two separate, mass independent Eddington ratio distribution functions (ERDFs).

GMRT study of X-shaped radio sources [PDF]
Context. The nature of X-shaped sources is a matter of considerable debate in the literature: it has even been proposed that they provide evidence for black-hole-mergers/spin-reorientation, and therefore constrain the rate of strong gravitational wave events. Aim. To explore the nature of these X-shaped radio galaxies. Method.

The Hot Atmospheres of X-shaped Radio Galaxies [PDF]
We present an observational and numerical study of X-shaped radio galaxies, a subset of the double-lobed radio galaxies with a second set of lobes or "wings".
