The cosmological environment of radio galaxies in the Local Universe. the study: “Deciphering the Large-scale Environment of Radio Galaxies in the Local Universe. II. A Statistical Analysis of Environmental Properties” of F. Massaro (UniTo/OATo) recently appeared on ApJ
Some galaxies are more than 100 times brighter in the radio wavelengths than the other galaxies, being thus classified as “radio galaxies“. Images at high spatial resolution have shown that the radio emission in these sources arises mainly from two regions, called “radio lobes“, extended hundreds of light years and symmetric with respect to the center of the galaxy.
