Radio Follow-Up Observations of a Weak-Line Quasar Exhibiting Remarkable X-ray Variability

SDSSJ1539+3954 ($z\approx 1.935$), a radio-quiet weak-line quasar (WLQ), exhibited exceptional X-ray variability in 2019$-$2020, with its X-ray flux increasing by over 20 times from 2013 to 2019 and subsequently dropping by at least a factor of nine in 2020. Motivated by the empirical correlations between X-ray and radio emission in AGN cores, we carried out a follow-up radio study in the 0.3$-$10 GHz range using GMRT (2020, 2022, 2024) and VLA (2022), and analyzed archival VLASS 3 GHz data (2017-2023) to investigate the source's radio properties and potential connection with the X-ray behavior. Our observations reveal a compact radio source with a spectral index of -0.65$\pm$0.15 in the frequency range of 0.3$-$1.4 GHz and -1.09$\pm$0.16 in 3$-$10 GHz. While the source was undetected in VLA-FIRST (1994) and VLASS epochs, the GMRT and VLA observations show no statistically significant variability over the monitored period. The absence of detectable changes in the radio flux, despite strong X-ray variability, suggests no direct connection between the X-ray variability and the radio emission, consistent with the Thick-Disk plus Outflow (TDO) model for WLQs. However, the sensitivity limit of the surveys prevents us from drawing definitive conclusions regarding longer timescale variability between the VLA-FIRST and GMRT epochs. We further explore possible mechanisms driving the radio emission from this source. Our analysis rules out small-scale jets and coronal emission as the primary drivers of the radio emission, suggesting that extended emission from AGN winds and star formation is the more plausible mechanism.

Radio continuum spectra of SFGs in the XMM-LSS Field below-threshold

This study investigates the radio spectral properties of \textit{K}$_{S}$-selected star-forming galaxies (SFGs) in the XMM-LSS field using extensive multiwavelength data. By employing various diagnostics, SFGs are distinguished from quiescent galaxies and AGN across seven redshift bins ($\rm{0.1\leq\,\textit{z}\,\leq\,3.0}$). The broadband radio frequency spectral energy distribution is analysed at observer-frame frequencies from 144 to 1500 MHz using median stacking techniques correcting for median flux boosting. We investigate the relationship between the radio spectral index, $α$ (where $S\proptoν^α$) and redshift ($z$). Our analysis reveals no significant inverse correlation between $α$ and $z$, indicating that the radio spectrum remains independent with varying redshift. We fit the stacked median radio SEDs with a power law (\textit{PL}), curved power law (\textit{CPL}) and double power law (\textit{DPL}) models. For the \textit{DPL} and \textit{CPL} models, we observe a consistent steepening of the low-frequency spectral index across all redshift bins. For the \textit{CPL} model, the curvature term $q$ is greater than zero in all redshift bins. Model comparisons indicate that spectra are generally well fitted by all the models considered. At 1500 MHz, SFGs display both a steep synchrotron component and a flat free-free emission component, with a thermal fraction consistently around 11$\%$ to 18$\%$. Further deep radio observations, with higher resolution to better deal with source blending and confusion noise and wider frequency coverage to better separate non-thermal and thermal radio emission, are required to reveal the detailed physical processes, thus clarifying the nature of radio sources.

Investigating the Role of Pre-supernova Massive Stars in the Acceleration of Galactic Cosmic Rays

Galactic cosmic rays (GCRs) constitute a significant part of the energy budget of our Galaxy, and the study of their accelerators is of high importance in modern astrophysics. Their main sources are likely supernova remnants (SNRs). These objects are capable to convert a part of their mechanical energy into accelerated charged particles. However, even though the mechanical energy reservoir of SNRs is promising, a conversion rate into particle energy of 10 to 20% is necessary to feed the population of GCRs. Such an efficiency is however not guaranteed. Complementary sources deserve thus to be investigated. This communication aims to address the question of the contribution to the acceleration of GCRs by pre-supernova massive stars in binary or higher multiplicity systems

Radio spectral properties of star-forming galaxies between 150-5000MHz in the ELAIS-N1 field

By combining high-sensitivity LOFAR 150MHz, uGMRT 400MHz and 1,250MHz, GMRT 610MHz, and VLA 5GHz data in the ELAIS-N1 field, we study the radio spectral properties of radio-detected star-forming galaxies (SFGs) at observer-frame frequencies of 150-5,000MHz. We select ~3,500 SFGs that have both LOFAR 150MHz and GMRT 610MHz detections, and obtain a median two-point spectral index of $α_{150}^{610}=-0.51\pm0.01$. The photometric redshift of these SFGs spans $z=0.01-6.21$. We also measure the two-point radio spectral indices at 150-400-610-1,250MHz and 150-610-5,000MHz respectively for the GMRT 610-MHz-detected SFGs, and find that, on average, the radio spectrum of SFGs is flatter at low frequency than at high frequency. At observer-frame 150-5,000MHz, we find that the radio spectrum slightly steepens with increasing stellar mass. However, we only find that the radio spectrum flattens with increasing optical depth at $V$-band at $ν<1$GHz. We suggest that spectral ageing due to the energy loss of CR electrons and thermal free-free absorption could be among the possible main physical mechanisms that drive the above two correlations respectively. In addition, both of these mechanisms could physically explain why the radio spectrum is flatter at low frequency than at high frequency.

Star formation history of $\rm{0.1\leq\,\textit{z}\,\leq\,1.5}$ mass-selected galaxies in the ELAIS-N1 Field

We measure the specific star formation rates of \textit{K}-band selected galaxies from the ELAIS-N1 by stacking GMRT data at 610 MHz. We identify a sample of SFGs, spanning $\rm{0.1\leq\,\textit{z}\,\leq\,1.5}$ and $\rm{10^{8.5}<\,{\textit{M}_{\star}}/{\textit{M}_{\odot}}<10^{12.4}}$, using a combination of multi-wavelength diagnostics obtained from the deep LoTSS multi-wavelength catalogue. We measure the flux densities in the radio map and estimate the radio SFR in order to probe the nature of the galaxies below the noise and confusion limits. The massive galaxies in our sample have the lowest sSFRs which is in agreement with previous studies. For the different populations, we show that the sSFR-mass relation steepens with redshift, with an average slope of $\rm{\langle β_{All} \rangle\,=\, -0.49\pm0.01}$ for the whole sample, and $\rm{\langle β_{SFG} \rangle\,=\, -0.42\pm0.02}$ for the SFGs. Our results indicate that galaxy populations undergo 'downsizing', whereby most massive galaxies form their stars earlier and more rapidly than low mass galaxies. Both populations show a strong decrease in their sSFR toward the present epoch. The sSFR evolution with redshift is best described by a power law $\rm{(1\,+\,\textit{z})^\textit{n}}$, where $\rm{\langle \textit{n}_{ALL}\rangle\sim4.94\pm0.53}$ for all galaxies, and $\rm{\langle \textit{n}_{SFG}\rangle \sim3.51\pm0.52}$ for SFGs. Comparing our measured sSFRs to results from literature, we find a general agreement in the \textit{sSFR-M$_{\star}$} plane.

AGN Feedback Through Multiple Jet Cycles in the Seyfert Galaxy NGC 2639

The Seyfert galaxy NGC 2639 was known to exhibit three episodes of AGN jet/lobe activity. We present here the upgraded Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (uGMRT) 735 MHz image of NGC 2639 showing a fourth episode as witnessed by the discovery of $\sim9$ kpc radio lobes misaligned with the previously known $\sim1.5$ kpc, $\sim360$ parsec, and $\sim3$ parsec jet features detected through the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA) and the Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA), respectively. Using the spectral ageing software BRATS, we derive the ages of the $\sim9$ kpc, $\sim1.5$ kpc, and $\sim360$ parsec episodes to be, respectively, $34^{+4}_{-6}$ Myr, $11.8^{+1.7}_{-1.4}$ Myr, and $2.8^{+0.7}_{-0.5}$ Myr, and conclude that minor mergers occurred $9-22$ Myr apart. NGC 2639 shows a deficit of molecular gas in its central $\sim6$ kpc region. The GALEX NUV image also shows a deficiency of recent star-formation in the same region, while the star formation rate (SFR) surface density in NGC 2639 is lower by a factor of $5-18$ compared to the global Schmidt law of star-forming galaxies. This makes NGC 2639 a rare case of a Seyfert galaxy showing episodic jet activity and possible signatures of jet-driven AGN feedback.

The structure at the centre of the giant radio galaxy GRS J0844+4627: a compact symmetric object?

We observed the core region of the giant radio galaxy GRS J0844+4627 with e-MERLIN at 1.52 and 5.07 GHz. These observations revealed that the apparent single feature at the centre of GRS J0844+4627, as seen by GMRT, consists of two components separated by 2.7 kpc in projection. Follow-up observations at 1.66 GHz using the EVN unveiled the complex morphologies of the two components. In particular, the south-western component identified with the SDSS J084408.85+462744.2 galaxy morphologically resembles a compact symmetric object (CSO) with a projected linear size of 115 pc. If the CSO hypothesis turns out to be correct, then the overall radio structure of GRS J0844+4627 is triple-double. Given that CSOs are considered young objects, GRS J0844+4627 would appear as a recently restarted active galaxy.

Barbell-shaped giant radio galaxy with ~100 kpc kink in the jet

We present for the first time a study of peculiar giant radio galaxy (GRG) J223301+131502 using deep multi-frequency radio observations from GMRT (323, 612, and 1300 MHz) and LOFAR (144 MHz) along with optical spectroscopic observations with the WHT~4.2m optical telescope. Our observations have firmly established its redshift of 0.09956 and unveiled its exceptional jet structure extending more than $\sim$ 200 kpc leading to a peculiar kink structure of $\sim$ 100 kpc. We measure the overall size of this GRG to be $\sim$ 1.83 Mpc; it exhibits lobes without any prominent hotspots and closely resembles a barbell. Our deep low-frequency radio maps clearly reveal the steep-spectrum diffuse emission from the lobes of the GRG. The magnetic field strength of $\sim$ 5 $μ$G and spectral ages between about 110 to 200 mega years for the radio lobes were estimated using radio data from LOFAR 144 MHz observations and GMRT 323 and 612 MHz observations. We discuss the possible causes leading to the formation of the observed kink feature for the GRG, which includes precession of the jet axis, development of instabilities and magnetic reconnection. Despite its enormous size, the Barbell GRG is found to be residing in a low-mass (M$_{200} \sim 10^{14}$ $\rm M_{\odot}$) galaxy cluster. This GRG with two-sided large-scale jets with a kink and diffuse outer lobes residing in a cluster environment provides an opportunity to explore the structure and growth of GRGs in different environments.

Selecting and Modelling Remnant AGNs with Limited Spectral Coverage

Quantifying the energetics and lifetimes of remnant radio-loud active galactic nuclei (AGNs) is much more challenging than for active sources due to the added complexity of accurately determining the time since the central black hole switched off. Independent spectral modelling of remnant lobes enables the derivation of the remnant ratio, $R_\mathrm{rem}$, (i.e. `off-time/source age'), thus reducing this complexity back to that of active sources however, the requirement of high-frequency ($\gtrsim5\,$GHz) coverage makes the application of this technique over large-area radio surveys difficult. In this work we propose a new method, which relies on the observed brightness of backflow of Fanaroff-Riley type~II lobes, combined with the \emph{Radio AGN in Semi-Analytic Environments} (RAiSE) code, to measure the duration of the remnant phase. Sensitive radio observations of the remnant radio galaxy J2253-34 are obtained to provide a robust comparison of this technique with the canonical spectral analysis and modelling methods. We find that the remnant lifetimes modelled by each method are consistent; spectral modelling yields $R_\mathrm{rem} = 0.23\pm0.02$, compared to $R_\mathrm{rem} = 0.26\pm0.02$ from our new method. We examine the viability of applying our proposed technique to low-frequency radio surveys using mock radio source populations, and examine whether the technique is sensitive to any intrinsic properties of radio AGNs. Our results show that the technique can be used to robustly classify active and remnant populations, with the most confident predictions for the remnant ratio, and thus off-time, in the longest-lived radio sources ($>50~$Myr) and those at higher redshifts ($z > 0.1$).

Exploring the region encompassing gamma Cygni SNR and MAGIC J2019+408 with the GMRT at 325 and 610 MHz

Gamma Cygni is a young supernova remnant located in the Cygnus region. MAGIC (Major Atmospheric Gamma Imaging Cherenkov) telescopes detected TeV emission (MAGIC J2019+408) to the north-west of this remnant, about 5 arcmin from its border. We want to identify the radio sources within the region encompassing gamma Cygni and MAGIC J2019+408 to shed light on their nature and investigate if these radio sources could be potential contributors to gamma-ray emission. We carried out a detailed study of the data we obtained with a survey of the Cygnus region at 325 and 610 MHz with the Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (GMRT). We detected several radio sources in the region where the radio and the TeV emission overlap, as well as several areas of enhanced radio emission. In particular, two of these areas of diffuse enhanced emission may correspond to the supernova remnant interacting with a high density region, which seems to be the best candidate for the MAGIC source. Another two radio sources, which may or may not contribute to the gamma rays, are also spatially coincident with the emission peak of the MAGIC TeV source. One of them displays a rather peculiar extended morphology whose nature is completely unknown. We have identified the radio sources overlapping gamma Cygni and MAGIC J2019+408 and have shown that their potential gamma-ray contribution is likely not dominant. In addition, some of the studied sources show peculiar physical characteristics that deserve deeper multi-wavelength observations.

Studies on slow radio transients

We present a brief overview of a very extensive studies of the group of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) that transitioned to radio-loud state over the past few decades. The sample consists of twelve sources, both quasars and galaxies, showing the characteristics of gigahertz-peaked spectrum (GPS) objects undergoing relatively rapid changes, due to the evolution of their newly-born radio jets. Discussed objects also show a wide range of physical parameters such as bolometric luminosity, black hole mass and jet power, suggesting a great diversity among young active galactic nuclei and their hosts. Furthermore, we introduce a new observational project, the aim of which will be to investigate and gain a more in-depth understanding of the phenomenon of slow radio transients.

Remnant radio galaxy candidates of small angular sizes

Remnant radio galaxies (RRGs), characterized by the cessation of AGN activity, represent a short-lived last phase of radio galaxy's life-cycle. Hitherto, searches for RRGs, mainly based on the morphological criteria, have identified large angular size sources resulting into a bias towards the remnants of powerful FR-II radio galaxies. In this study we make the first attempt to perform a systematic search for RRGs of small angular sizes ($<$30$^{\prime\prime}$) in the XMM-LSS field. By using spectral curvature criterion we discover 48 remnant candidates exhibiting strong spectral curvature ${\it i.e.}$; $α_{\rm 150~MHz}^{\rm 325~MHz}$ - $α_{\rm 325~MHz}^{\rm 1.4~GHz}$ $\geq$0.5. Spectral characteristics at higher frequency regime ($>$1.4 GHz) indicate that some of our remnant candidates can depict recurrent AGN activity with an active core. We place an upper limit on the remnant fraction ($f_{\rm rem}$) to be 3.9$\%$, which increases to 5.4$\%$ if flux cutoff limit of S$_{\rm 150~MHz}$ $\geq$10 mJy is considered. Our study unveils, hitherto unexplored, a new population of small-size ($<$200 kpc) remnant candidates that are often found to reside in less dense environments and at higher redshifts ($z$) $>$1.0. We speculate that a relatively shorter active phase and/or low jet power can be plausible reasons for the small size of remnant candidates.

A GMRT Narrowband vs. Wideband Analysis of the ACT-CLJ0034.4+0225 Field Selected from the ACTPol Cluster Sample

Low frequency radio observations of galaxy clusters are a useful probe of the non-thermal intracluster medium (ICM), through observations of diffuse radio emission such as radio halos and relics. Current formation theories cannot fully account for some of the observed properties of this emission. In this study, we focus on the development of interferometric techniques for extracting extended, faint diffuse emissions in the presence of bright, compact sources in wide-field and broadband continuum imaging data. We aim to apply these techniques to the study of radio halos, relics and radio mini-halos using a uniformly selected and complete sample of galaxy clusters selected via the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) effect by the Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT) project, and its polarimetric extension (ACTPol). We use the upgraded Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (uGMRT) for targeted radio observations of a sample of 40 clusters. We present an overview of our sample, confirm the detection of a radio halo in ACT-CL J0034.4+0225, and compare the narrowband and wideband analysis results for this cluster. Due to the complexity of the ACT-CL J0034.4+0225 field, we use three pipelines to process the wideband data. We conclude that the experimental SPAM wideband pipeline produces the best results for this particular field. However, due to the severe artefacts in the field, further analysis is required to improve the image quality.

Outflows in the Radio-Intermediate Quasar III Zw 2: A Polarization Study with the EVLA & uGMRT

We present results from a polarization study of the radio-intermediate quasar, III Zw 2, at a redshift of 0.089, with the upgraded Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (uGMRT) at 685 MHz and the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA) at 5 and 34 GHz. We detect a kpc-scale outflow, exhibiting transverse magnetic (B-) fields. The curved jet terminates in a bow-shock-like radio structure with inferred B-fields aligned with the lobe edges. We suggest that the radio outflow in III Zw 2 is a combination of a collimated jet along with a wind-like component. This "wind" component could be a magnetized accretion disk wind or the outer layers of a broadened jet or a combination of both. The current data cannot differentiate between these possibilities. We also detect kpc-scale lobe emission that is misaligned with the primary lobes in the uGMRT images. The spectral indices and the electron lifetimes in the misaligned lobe are similar to the primary lobe, suggesting that the misaligned lobe is not a relic. We propose that changing spectral states of the accretion disk, and the subsequent intermittent behaviour of the outflow, along with the close interplay between the jet and "wind" could explain the radio-intermediate nature of III Zw 2. Our study shows that radio-intermediate quasars are promising sources for understanding the role of jets and winds in galaxy evolution and demonstrates the power of radio polarization studies towards achieving this.

Investigation of the double-lobed sources of the Cygnus constellation core

We present a collection of double-lobed sources towards a 20 sq deg area of the Cygnus region at the northern sky, observed at 325 and 610~MHz with the Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope. The 10'' resolution achieved at 325 MHz is 5.5 times better than previous studies, while at 610~MHz these are the first results ever of such a large area, mapped with 6'' angular resolution. After a thorough visual inspection of the images at the two bands, we found 43 double-lobed source candidates, proposed as such due to the presence of two bright peaks, within a few arcminutes apart, joined by a bridge or a central nucleus. All but two are presented here as double-lobed candidates for the first time. Thirty-nine of the candidates were covered at both bands, and we provide the spectral index information for them. We have searched for positional coincidences between the detected sources/components and other objects from the literature, along the electromagnetic spectrum. Twenty-three candidates possess radio counterpart(s), 12 present infrared counterparts, and one showed an overlapping X-ray source. We analysed each candidate considering morphology, counterparts, and spectral indices. Out of the 43 candidates, 37 show characteristics compatible with an extragalactic nature, two of probably Galactic origin, three remain as dubious cases, though with feature(s) compatible with an extragalactic nature, and the remaining one, evidence of physically unrelated components. The median spectral index of the 40 putative extragalactic sources is -1.0. Their celestial surface density at 610~MHz resulted in 1.9 per sq deg, across a region lying at the Galactic plane.

Multi-frequency characterisation of remnant radio galaxies in the Lockman Hole field

Remnant radio galaxies represent an important phase in the life-cycle of radio active galactic nuclei. It is suggested that in this phase, the jets have switched off and the extended emission is fading rapidly. This phase is not well-studied due to the lack of statistical samples observed at both low and high frequencies. In this work, we study a sample of 23 candidate remnant radio galaxies previously selected using the Low Frequency Array at 150 MHz in the Lockman Hole field. We examine their morphologies and study their spectral properties to confirm their remnant nature and revise the morphological and spectral criteria used to define the initial sample. We present new observations with the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array at 6000 MHz at both high and low resolution. These observations allowed us to observe the presence or absence of cores and study the spectral curvature and steepness of the spectra of the total emission expected at these high frequencies for the remnant candidates. We confirm 13 out of 23 candidates as remnant radio sources. This corresponds to 7% of the full sample of active, restarted, and remnant candidates from the Lockman Hole field. Surprisingly, only a minority of remnants reside in a cluster (23%). The remnant radio galaxies show a range of properties and morphologies. The majority do not show detection of the core at 6000 MHz and their extended emission often shows ultra-steep spectra (USS). However, there are also remnants with USS total emission and a detection of the core at 6000 MHz, possibly indicating a variety of evolutionary stages in the remnant phase. We confirm the importance of the combination of morphological and spectral criteria and this needs to be taken into consideration when selecting a sample of remnant radio sources.

Caltech-NRAO Stripe 82 Survey (CNSS) Paper V: AGNs that transitioned to radio-loud state

A recent multi-year Caltech-NRAO Stripe 82 Survey (CNSS) revealed a group of objects that appeared as new radio sources after $>$5--20 years of absence. They are transient phenomena with respect to the Faint Images of the Radio Sky at Twenty Centimeters (FIRST) survey and constitute the first unbiased sample of renewed radio activity. Here we present the follow-up, radio, optical and X-ray study of them. The group consist of 12 sources, both quasars and galaxies with wide redshift ($\rm 0.04 < z < 1.7$) and luminosity ($\rm 22 24.5$) distribution. Their radio properties in the first phase of activity, namely the convex spectra and compact morphology, allow them all to be classified as gigahertz-peaked spectrum (GPS) sources. We conclude that the spectral changes are a consequence of the evolution of newly-born radio jets. Our observations show that over the next few years of activity the GPS galaxies keep the convex shape of the spectrum, while GPS quasars rapidly transform into flat-spectrum sources, which may result in them not being recognized as young sources. The wide range of bolometric luminosities, black hole masses and jet powers among the transient sources indicates even greater population diversity in the group of young radio objects. We also suggest that small changes of the accretion disc luminosity (accretion rate) may be sufficient to ignite low-power radio activity that evolves on the scale of decades.

Remnant Radio Galaxies Discovered in a Multi-frequency Survey

The remnant phase of a radio galaxy begins when the jets launched from an active galactic nucleus are switched off. To study the fraction of radio galaxies in a remnant phase, we take advantage of a $8.31$\,deg$^2$ sub-region of the GAMA~23~field which comprises of surveys covering the frequency range 0.1--9\,GHz. We present a sample of 104 radio galaxies compiled from observations conducted by the Murchison Wide-field Array (216\,MHz), the Australia Square Kilometer Array Pathfinder (887\,MHz), and the Australia Telescope Compact Array (5.5\,GHz). We adopt an `absent radio core' criterion to identify 10 radio galaxies showing no evidence for an active nucleus. We classify these as new candidate remnant radio galaxies. Seven of these objects still display compact emitting regions within the lobes at 5.5\,GHz; at this frequency the emission is short-lived, implying a recent jet switch-off. On the other hand, only three show evidence of aged lobe plasma by the presence of an ultra-steep spectrum ($α<-1.2$) and a diffuse, low surface-brightness radio morphology. The predominant fraction of young remnants is consistent with a rapid fading during the remnant phase. Within our sample of radio galaxies, our observations constrain the remnant fraction to $4\%\lesssim f_{\mathrm{rem}} \lesssim 10\%$; the lower limit comes from the limiting case in which all remnant candidates with hotspots are simply active radio galaxies with faint, undetected radio cores. Finally, we model the synchrotron spectrum arising from a hotspot to show they can persist for 5--10\,Myr at 5.5\,GHz after the jets switch off -- radio emission arising from such hotspots can therefore be expected in an appreciable fraction of genuine remnants.
