How does the radio enhancement of broad absorption line quasars relate to colour and accretion rate? (2024)
Journal Article
Petley, J. W., Morabito, L. K., Rankine, A. L., Richards, G. T., Thomas, N. L., Alexander, D. M., …Kolwa, S. (2024). How does the radio enhancement of broad absorption line quasars relate to colour and accretion rate?. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 529(3), 1995-2007. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stae626

The origin of radio emission in different populations of radio-quiet quasars is relatively unknown, but recent work has uncovered various drivers of increased radio-detection fraction. In this work, we pull together three known factors: optical colou... Read More about How does the radio enhancement of broad absorption line quasars relate to colour and accretion rate?.

3D tomography of the giant Lyα nebulae of z ≈ 3–5 radio-loud AGN (2023)
Journal Article
Wang, W., Wylezalek, D., Vernet, J., De Breuck, C., Gullberg, B., Swinbank, M., …Lagos, P. (2023). 3D tomography of the giant Lyα nebulae of z ≈ 3–5 radio-loud AGN. Astronomy & Astrophysics, 680, Article A70. https://doi.org/10.1051/0004-6361/202346415

Lyα emission nebulae are ubiquitous around high-redshift galaxies and are tracers of the gaseous environment on scales out to ≳100 pkpc (proper kiloparsec). High-redshift radio galaxies (HzRGs, type-2 radio-loud quasars) host large-scale nebulae obse... Read More about 3D tomography of the giant Lyα nebulae of z ≈ 3–5 radio-loud AGN.

MIGHTEE: multi-wavelength counterparts in the COSMOS field (2023)
Journal Article
Whittam, I., Prescott, M., Hale, C., Jarvis, M. .., Heywood, I., An, F., …White, S. (2024). MIGHTEE: multi-wavelength counterparts in the COSMOS field. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 527(2), 3231-3245. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stad3307

In this paper we combine the Early Science radio continuum data from the MeerKAT International GHz Tiered Extragalactic Exploration (MIGHTEE) Survey, with optical and near-infrared data and release the cross-matched catalogues. The radio data used in... Read More about MIGHTEE: multi-wavelength counterparts in the COSMOS field.
