Thesis

An integral-field spectroscopic study of low-powered radio galaxies

Abstract:

There is a strong consensus within the scientific literature that the most powerful radio galaxies are the result of gas-rich, major mergers causing large amounts of material to fall on to the black hole at the centre of the resulting galaxy, thus producing an immensely powerful radio jet. However, such galaxies are extremely rare and are not representative of the general radio galaxy population. Most radio galaxies have low power, and their basic properties and origins are poorly constrai...
