The nature of compact radio sources: the case of FR 0 radio galaxies

RD Baldi - The Astronomy and Astrophysics Review, 2023 - Springer
Radio-loud compact radio sources (CRSs) are characterised by morphological compactness
of the jet structure centred on the active nucleus of the galaxy. Most of the local elliptical …

On the mass and luminosity functions of tidal disruption flares: rate suppression due to black hole event horizons

S van Velzen - The Astrophysical Journal, 2018 - iopscience.iop.org
The tidal disruption of a star by a massive black hole is expected to yield a luminous flare of
thermal emission. About two dozen of these stellar tidal disruption flares (TDFs) may have …

Quasars that have transitioned from radio-quiet to radio-loud on decadal timescales revealed by VLASS and FIRST

The dynamic evolution of young extragalactic radio sources

T An, WA Baan - The Astrophysical Journal, 2012 - iopscience.iop.org
The evolution of symmetric extragalactic radio sources can be characterized by four distinct
growth stages of the radio luminosity versus size of the source. The interaction of the jet with …

Pilot study of the radio-emitting AGN population: the emerging new class of FR 0 radio-galaxies

RD Baldi, A Capetti, G Giovannini - Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2015 - aanda.org
We present the results of a pilot JVLA project aimed at studying the bulk of the radio-emitting
AGN population, that was unveiled by the NVSS/FIRST and SDSS surveys. The key …
