摘要:

本文报道了利用巨米波射电望远镜(GMRT)对FRII射电星系3C 321(J1531+2404)H{ \sc i}吸收的观测结果,该星系与一个伴星相互作用的活动星系有关。对无线电核心的吸收分布是很好的解决,由三个组成部分,其中两个突出的是红移186和235公里秒$^{-1}$相对于光学系统速度。中性氢柱向核的密度估计为$N$(H{ \sci })=9.23 $\times10^{21}$(${T}_{\rm s}$ /100)($f_{c}$ /1.0)cm $^{-2}$,其中${T}_{\rm s}$和$f_c$分别为背景源的自旋温度和覆盖因子。我们还提出了无线电连续观测的源与GMRT和甚大阵(VLA),以了解的属性的羽状排放在一个角度$\sim30^\circ$的源轴。这个特征似乎具有陡峭的高频频谱。目前的热点和喷流是活跃的,并在X射线发射中看到。这些裂片的光谱年龄为$\lapp$ 2600万年。我们讨论的可能性,羽流可能是遗迹排放由于早期的活动周期。

英文摘要:

We report the results of Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (GMRT) observations of H{\sc i} absorption towards the FRII radio galaxy 3C321 (J1531+2404), which is associated with an active galaxy interacting with a companion. The absorption profile towards the radio core is well resolved and consists three components, of which the two prominent ones are red-shifted by 186 and 235 km s$^{-1}$ relative to the optical systemic velocity. The neutral hydrogen column density towards the core is estimated to be $N$(H{\sci})=9.23$\times10^{21}$(${T}_{\rm s}$/100)($f_{c}$/1.0) cm$^{-2}$, where ${T}_{\rm s}$ and $f_c$ are the spin temperature and covering factor of the background source respectively. We also present radio continuum observations of the source with both the GMRT and the Very Large Array (VLA) in order to understand the properties of a plume of emission at an angle of $\sim30^\circ$ to the source axis. This feature appears to have a steep high-frequency spectrum. The current hotspots and jet are active and seen in X-ray emission. The spectral ages of the lobes are $\lapp$26 Myr. We discuss the possibility that the plume could be relic emission due to an earlier cycle of activity.
