摘要:

我们目前的低频观测与巨型米波射电望远镜(GMRT)的一个样本的巨型射电源(GRS),和高频观测的三个这些来源的甚大阵列(VLA)。从多频观测的叶片,我们估计磁场强度使用三种不同的方法,并表明,这些不同的最多由一个因素的$\sim$ 3。对于这些大型射电源的逆康普顿损失通常占主导地位的同步辐射损失时,经典的最小能量磁场的估计使用,与早期的研究一致。然而,如果磁场接近使用Beck & Krause的形式主义估计的值,则这通常不是真的。我们还研究了光谱指数的核心和任何证据表明,在这些来源的经常性活动。我们探测这些源的对称参数的环境,并建议他们的环境往往是不对称的尺度$\sim$ 1百万秒差距,与早期的研究一致。

英文摘要:

We present low-frequency observations with the Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (GMRT) of a sample of giant radio sources (GRSs), and high-frequency observations of three of these sources with the Very Large Array (VLA). From multifrequency observations of the lobes we estimate the magnetic field strengths using three different approaches, and show that these differ at most by a factor of $\sim$3. For these large radio sources the inverse-Compton losses usually dominate over synchrotron losses when estimates of the classical minimum energy magnetic field are used, consistent with earlier studies. However, this is often not true if the magnetic fields are close to the values estimated using the formalism of Beck & Krause. We also examine the spectral indices of the cores and any evidence of recurrent activity in these sources. We probe the environment using the symmetry parameters of these sources and suggest that their environments are often asymmetric on scales of $\sim$1 Mpc, consistent with earlier studies.
