    Multiband observations of Cygnus A: A study of pressure balance in the core of a powerful radio galaxy (1990)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2013-08-31
    Description: Cygnus A is a powerful double radio source associated with a giant elliptical galaxy at the center of a poor cluster of galaxies. The radio source also sits within the core radius of a dense, cooling flow, x ray emitting cluster gas. Optical spectroscopy and narrow band imaging have revealed copious amounts of narrow line emission from the inner 20 kpc of the associated galaxy. Researchers assume H sub o = 75 km sec (-1) Mpc(-1). Discussed here are the pressures in the three components of the Interstellar Medium (ISM) (i.e., the radio, x ray, and line emitting fluids) within a radius of about 15 kpc of the active nucleus of the Cygnus A galaxy.

    Effects of stellar outflows on interstellar sulfur oxide chemistry (1986)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2016-06-07
    Description: Interferometer Maps with 2" to 6" resolution of a number of regions with active star formation (Orion A, W49, W51, SGRB2) show that the distribution of the molecule SO is very compact around stellar outflow sources. Both SO and SO2 were studied near three outflows, OrionA/IRc2 and two sources in W49. The two molecules have similar distributions and abundances. More than 95% of the emission comes from regions whose extents are only .05 to .2 pc., being larger around the more energetic sources. Their spectra are broad, 30 km/sec or more, suggesting that the oxide production is associated with the flows. The outflows are identified by water masers and by extended bipolar flows in SiO. Maps in other molecules, such as HCO+ and CS, which have similar collisional excitation requirements, have much greater spatial extent. Thus it appears that the SO and SO2 abundances are truly compact and are closely associated with the outflows.

    Rings and wiggles in Hercules A (1984)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-28
    Description: The first results from extensive observations of Her A, the fourth brightest extragalactic radio source in the sky at low frequencies, made with the Very Large Array of the National Radio Astronomy Observatory are reported. It is found that Her A possesses an unusual jet-dominated morphology instead of the Cygnus-A-like morphology expected for such a powerful radio source. Its two jets are quite different in appearance; one appears to be a continuous twisting jet, while the other suggests repeated ejection of individual plasmons by the central object. The questions raised by the presence of such different morphologies in the same source concerning the generation and evolution of extended extragalactic radio sources are discussed. Variations in the central engine provide the simplest interpretation for some of the features of this object; the role of environmental effects is less clear.

    The binary system MWC 349 (1985)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-28
    Description: The ionized zone surrounding MWC 349 has been resolved using the VLA. On the basis of a radio continuum map, it is concluded that there is a physical interaction between the two stellar components of MWC 349, and that the system is therefore a binary. The B component can be classified as a B0 III star, yielding a distance of about 1.2 kpc for the binary. The low ratio of infrared to short-wavelength luminosity in the A component suggests a circumstellar dusty region of special geometry. It is proposed that an appreciable dust and gas disk surrounds the star, modifying the symmetry of its H II region, and yielding the low infrared luminosity and perhaps its extra circumstellar extinction.

    Multifrequency radio observations of Cygnus A - Spectral aging in powerful radio galaxies (1991)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-07-12
    Description: A detailed analysis of the radio spectrum across the lobes of Cygnus A is presented in order to critically test the synchroton spectral aging theory. The results are in good agreement with the jet model for powerful radio galaxies, involving particle acceleration at the hot spots and outflow into the radio lobes, with subsequent energy loss due to synchrotron radiation. The hot spot spectra are well represented by a spectral aging model involving continuous injection of relativistic particles. Both hot spots have spectral break frequencies around 10 GHz. An injection index of 0.5 is found for both hot spots, consistent with diffusive shock acceleration at a strong nonrelativistic shock in a Newtonian fluid. The LF hot spot emission spectrum falls below the injected power law. This effect is isolated to the hot spots, and is best explained by a low-energy cutoff in the particle distribution.
