VIMOS spectroscopy of extended emission line regions

Astrophysics 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

We present the results of spectroscopic and imaging observations of the FRII radio galaxies PKS2250-41 and PKS1932-46. Both sources display very extensive emission line regions, and appear to be undergoing interactions with companion bodies. In addition to disturbed gas kinematics associated with interactions with the radio source, the more distant emitting material displays simple, narrow emission line profiles, often at significant velocity offsets from the system rest-frame, and may be associated with tidal debris.
