Black Hole

Lensing of space time around a black hole. At Oxford we study black holes observationally and theoretically on all size and time scales - it is some of our core work.

The optical jet in 3C 31 on 15 arcsec scales

Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society 339:1 (2003) 82-86

Authors:

JH Croston, M Birkinshaw, E Conway, RL Davies

Abstract:

Evidence has been found for optical emission from the northern radio jet of 3C 31, the radio source associated with NGC 383. The jet emerges from the dust disc and ring of emission at a radius of 5 arcsec, and within 10.4 arcsec is measured to have a B-band flux of 2.1 μJy and an R-band flux of 2.3 μJy. The radio-to-optical spectral index of this region is 0.78. A second connected region, 11.8 arcsec along the jet in position angle 340°, found to have similar optical colours and radio-to-optical spectral index may also be jet emission. We combine our new data with recent radio and X-ray results to conclude that the emission of the jet is synchrotron from the radio to the X-ray.

SAURON: Observations of E/S0/SA galaxies

REV MEX AST ASTR 17 (2003) 199-199

Authors:

H Kuntschner, R Bacon, M Bureau, M Cappellari, Y Copin, RL Davies, E Emsellem, BW Miller, R McDermid, RF Peletier, EK Verolme, PT de Zeeuw

Abstract:

We present results from a new and unique integral-field spectrograph, SAURON. It has a large field of view and high throughput and is primarily built for the study of stellar & gaseous kinematics and stellar populations in galaxies. Its aim is to carry out a systematic survey of the velocity fields, velocity dispersions, and line-strength distributions of nearby ellipticals, lenticular galaxies and spiral bulges.
