We present results of Gemini spectroscopy and Hubble Space Telescope imaging of the 3C~381 radio galaxy. Possible ionising mechanisms for the Extended Emission-Line Region were studied through state-of-the-art diagnostic analysis employing…
An analysis of the kinematics and ionisation state of the emission line gas of a sample of 14 3CR radio galaxies with redshifts z~1 is carried out. The data used for these studies, deep long--slit spectroscopic exposures from the WHT, are…
Integral-field spectroscopic observations are presented for three powerful radio galaxies, namely 3C277.3 (Coma A; z=0.0857), 3C171 (z=0.2384) and 3C265 (z=0.811), which are known to be undergoing jet-cloud interactions. The morphology,…
We present deep, narrow-band and continuum images of the powerful z=0.811 radio galaxy 3C265, taken with the TTF on the WHT, together with detailed long-slit spectroscopic observations along the axis defined by the UV/optical emission…
We present new Gemini spectroscopical data of the Extended Emission-Line Region of 3C~305 radio galaxy in order to achieve the final answer of the long-standing question about the ionizing mechanism. The spectra show strong kinematic…
This paper is the second in a series in which we present intermediate-resolution spectra for a complete sample of 14 compact radio sources, taken with the aim of investigating the impact of the nuclear activity on the cirumnuclear…
We present spatially resolved maps of morphology, kinematics, and energetics of warm ionized gas in six powerful radio galaxies at z=3.5-4, using JWST/NIRSpec IFU to quantify jet-driven feedback in the early universe. All sources exhibit…
In this article I review the dominant physical mechanisms in the extended emission line regions (EELR) of powerful radio galaxies at low redshifts and, in particular, the balance between jet-induced shocks and AGN photoionization. I…
We report the detection of extended warm ionized gas in two powerful high-redshift radio galaxies, NVSS J210626-314003 at z=2.10 and TXS 2353-003 at z=1.49, that does not appear to be associated with the radio jets. This is contrary to what…
The high redshift radio galaxy 4C41.17 consists of a powerful radio source in which previous work has shown that there is strong evidence for jet-induced star formation along the radio axis. We argue that nuclear photoionization is not…
We present an investigation into the nature of the jet-gas interactions in a sample of 10 radio galaxies at 2.3<z<2.9 using deep spectroscopy of the UV line and continuum emission obtained at Keck II and the Very Large Telescope.…
We present optical and radio images, and long-slit spectra of the radio galaxy PKS 1932-464 (z=0.230). Our main goal is to determine whether the observed properties of the extended emission line nebulosity in this object show evidence for…
We present UV rest frame spectra of 3 powerful narrow line radio galaxies and the hyperluminous type 2 active galaxy SMM02399-0136, all at high redshift (z>2). We find high velocities (FWHM>1000, km/s) in the extended gas of all objects. A…
Deep, narrow-band Halpha observations taken with the TAURUS Tunable Filter (TTF) on the 4.2m WHT telescope are presented for two nearby radio galaxies with strong jet-cloud interactions. Although the brightest emission line components are…
We present Hubble Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph long-slit spectroscopy of the emission line nebulae in the compact steep spectrum radio sources 3C 67, 3C 277.1, and 3C 303.1. We derive BPT (Baldwin- Philips-Terlevich; Baldwin et al.…
We investigate the ionization state of the Extended Emission-Line Regions (EELRs) around two compact steep-spectrum (CSS) radio galaxies, 3C~268.3 and 3C~303.1, in order to identify the contribution of photoionization and shock-ionization.…
Deep long-slit spectroscopic data are presented for a sample of 14 3CR radio galaxies at redshift z ~ 1, previously studied in detail using the Hubble Space Telescope, the Very Large Array, and UKIRT. Analysis of the [OII] 3727 emission…
We have compiled a sample of 165 radio galaxies from the literature to study the properties of the extended emission line regions and their interaction with the radio source over a large range of redshift 0<z<5.2. For each source, we have…
We present integral field spectroscopy of a small sample of radio-loud quasars at intermediate redshift (0.26<z<0.60), most of which are associated with large radio sources. All have oxygen line emission extended over tens of kiloparcsecs,…
We have used high resolution longslit spectroscopy to investigate the ionized gas in the active galaxy IRAS 04210+0400 and its association with the radio structure. We suggest that two of the ionized components are associated with the…
