The relative positions of the high and low surface brightness regions of radio-loud active galaxies in the 3CR sample were found by Fanaroff and Riley to be correlated with their luminosity. We revisit this canonical relationship with a…

The origin of the Fanaroff--Riley Class I/II (FRI/FRII) morphological dichotomy remains uncertain. We investigate whether cluster-scale environment contributes to this distinction using a morphologically classified LoTSS DR2 catalogue at…

The continuum emission from radio galaxies can be generally classified into different morphological classes such as FRI, FRII, Bent, or Compact. In this paper, we explore the task of radio galaxy classification based on morphology using…

Radio-loud active galaxies (RLAGN) can exhibit various morphologies. The Fanaroff-Riley (FR) classifications, which are defined by the locations of peaks in surface brightness, have been applied to many catalogues of RLAGN. The FR…

Machine learning techniques have been increasingly useful in astronomical applications over the last few years, for example in the morphological classification of galaxies. Convolutional neural networks have proven to be highly effective in…

In this paper the cosmic evolution of the space density of Fanaroff & Riley Class I (FRI) radio sources is investigated out to z ~ 1, in order to understand the origin of the differences between these and the more powerful FRIIs. High…

Hybrid morphology radio sources are a rare type of radio galaxy that display different Fanaroff-Riley classes on opposite sides of their nuclei. To enhance the statistical analysis of hybrid morphology radio sources, we embarked on a…

The simple, yet profoundly far-reaching classification scheme based on extended radio morphologies of radio galaxies, the Fanaroff-Riley classification has been a cornerstone in our understanding of radio galaxies. Over the decades since…
