We present XSHOOTER observations with previous ALMA, MUSE, and HST observations to study the nature of radio jet triggered star formation and the interaction of radio jets with the interstellar medium in the brightest cluster galaxy (BCG) in the Abel...

Sub-kpc radio jets in the brightest central galaxy of the cool-core galaxy cluster RXJ1720.1+2638 (2022)
Journal Article
Perrott, Y. C., SM, G., Edge, A. C., Grainge, K. J. B., Green, D. A., & Saunders, R. D. E. (2023). Sub-kpc radio jets in the brightest central galaxy of the cool-core galaxy cluster RXJ1720.1+2638. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society: Letters, 520(1), L1-L4. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnrasl/slac160

The cool-core galaxy cluster RXJ1720.1+2638 hosts extended radio emission near the cluster core, known as a minihalo. The origin of this emission is still debated and one piece of the puzzle has been the question of whether the supermassive black hol...

Does absorption against AGN reveal supermassive black hole accretion? (2022)
Journal Article
Rose, T., McNamara, B., Combes, F., Edge, A., Fabian, A., Gaspari, M., …Ferland, G. (2023). Does absorption against AGN reveal supermassive black hole accretion?. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 518(1), 878 - 892. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stac3194

Galaxies often contain large reservoirs of molecular gas that shape their evolution. This can be through cooling of the gas – which leads to star formation, or accretion on to the central supermassive black hole – which fuels active galactic nucleus...

Molecular Flows in Contemporary Active Galaxies and the Efficacy of Radio-Mechanical Feedback (2022)
Journal Article
Tamhane, P. D., McNamara, B. R., Russell, H. R., Edge, A. C., Fabian, A. C., Nulsen, P. E., & Babyk, I. V. (2022). Molecular Flows in Contemporary Active Galaxies and the Efficacy of Radio-Mechanical Feedback. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 516(1), https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stac2168

Molecular gas flows are analysed in 14 cluster galaxies (BCGs) centred in cooling hot atmospheres. The BCGs contain 109−1011 M⊙ of molecular gas, much of which is being moved by radio jets and lobes. The molecular flows and radio jet powers are compa... Read More about Molecular Flows in Contemporary Active Galaxies and the Efficacy of Radio-Mechanical Feedback.

Circumnuclear Medium around the Central AGN in a Cool-core Cluster, Abell 1644-South (2022)
Journal Article
Baek, J., Chung, A., Edge, A., Rose, T., Kim, J., & Jung, T. (2022). Circumnuclear Medium around the Central AGN in a Cool-core Cluster, Abell 1644-South. Astrophysical Journal, 932(1), Article 64. https://doi.org/10.3847/1538-4357/ac6de6

We present the circumnuclear multiphase gas properties of the brightest cluster galaxy (BCG) in the center of Abell 1644-South (A1644-S). A1644-S is the main cluster in a merging system, which is well known for X-ray hot gas sloshing in its core. The...

Pilot-WINGS: An extended MUSE view of the structure of Abell 370 (2022)
Journal Article
Lagattuta, D. J., Richard, J., Bauer, F. E., Cerny, C., Claeyssens, A., Guaita, L., …Weaver, J. R. (2022). Pilot-WINGS: An extended MUSE view of the structure of Abell 370. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 514(1), 497-517. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stac418

We investigate the strong-lensing cluster Abell 370 (A370) using a wide Integral Field Unit (IFU) spectroscopic mosaic from the Multi-Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (MUSE). IFU spectroscopy provides significant insight into the structure and mass conten... Read More about Pilot-WINGS: An extended MUSE view of the structure of Abell 370.

A LOFAR view into the stormy environment of the galaxy cluster 2A0335+096 (2022)
Journal Article
Ignesti, A., Brunetti, G., Shimwell, T., Gitti, M., Birzan, L., Botteon, A., …van Weeren, R. (2022). A LOFAR view into the stormy environment of the galaxy cluster 2A0335+096. Astronomy & Astrophysics, 659, Article A20. https://doi.org/10.1051/0004-6361/202142549

Context. Radio observations represent a powerful probe of the physics occurring in the intracluster medium (ICM) because they trace the relativistic cosmic rays in the cluster magnetic fields, or within galaxies themselves. By probing the low-energy... Read More about A LOFAR view into the stormy environment of the galaxy cluster 2A0335+096.

Quasar feedback survey: multiphase outflows, turbulence, and evidence for feedback caused by low power radio jets inclined into the galaxy disc (2022)
Journal Article
Girdhar, A., Harrison, C., Mainieri, V., Bittner, A., Costa, T., Kharb, P., …Ward, S. (2022). Quasar feedback survey: multiphase outflows, turbulence, and evidence for feedback caused by low power radio jets inclined into the galaxy disc. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 512(2), 1608-1628. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stac073

We present a study of a luminous, z = 0.15, type-2 quasar (L[OIII] = 1042.8 erg s−1) from the Quasar Feedback Survey. It is classified as ‘radio-quiet’ (L1.4 GHz = 1023.8 W Hz−1); however, radio imaging reveals ∼ 1 kpc low-power radio jets (Pjet = 10...
