16 Jan 2007 | | Abstract: | We present morphological and statistical results of a study of neutral hydrogen (HI) in a complete sample of nearby, non-cluster radio galaxies. We detect large-scale HI emission in the early-type host galaxies of 25% of our sample sources. The large-scale HI is mainly distributed in disk- and ring-like structures with sizes up to 190 kpc and masses up to 2 x 10^10 M_solar. All radio galaxies with M_HI >= 10^9 M_solar have a compact radio source. When we compare our sample of radio-loud early-type galaxies with samples of radio-quiet early-type galaxies there appears to be no significant difference in HI properties (mass, morphology and detection rate). This suggests that that the radio-loud phase could be just a short phase that occurs at some point during the life-time of many, or even all, early-type galaxies. | | Source: | arXiv, astro-ph/0701435 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
