    Radio Galaxies in Cooling Cores: Insights from a Complete Sample

    We have observed a new, complete, cooling-core sample with the VLA, in order to understand how the massive black hole in the central galaxy interacts with the local cluster plasma. We find that every cooling c...

    Nanosecond radio bursts from strong plasma turbulence in the Crab pulsar

    The Crab pulsar was discovered1 by the occasional exceptionally bright radio pulses it emits, subsequently dubbed ‘giant’ pulses. Only two other pulsars are known to emit giant pulses2,3. There is no satisfactory...

    How Radio Sources Stay Young

    In studying the dynamical evolution of radio galaxies, I find that the dynamical ages of the sources are older than the ages inferred from spectral breaks, typically by a factor ~ 10. This suggests to me that ...

    Particle Acceleration in Radio Sources with Internal Turbulence

    Many extended radio sources seem to need in situ regeneration of the relativistic electrons. MHD turbulence generated by surface instabilities has been suggested as the reacceleration mechanism. However, Eilek (1...
