Cheung identified a sample of 100 candidate X-shaped radio galaxies using the NRAO FIRST survey; these are small-axial-ratio extended radio sources with off-axis emission. Here we present radio images of 52 of these sources that have been made from archival Very Large Array data with resolution of about 1 arcsec. Fifty-one of the 52 were observed at 1.4 GHz, seven were observed at 1.4 GHz and 5 GHz, and one was observed only at 5 GHz. We also present overlays of the SDSS red images for 48 of the sources, and DSS II overlays for the remainder. Optical counterparts have been identified for most sources, but there remain a few empty fields. Our higher resolution VLA images along with FIRST survey images of the sources in the sample reveal that extended extragalactic radio sources with small axial ratios are largely (60%) cases of double radio sources with twin lobes that have off-axis extensions, usually with inversion-symmetric structure. The available radio images indicate that at most 20% sources might be genuine X-shaped radio sources that could have formed by a restarting of beams in a new direction following an interruption and axis flip. The remaining 20% are in neither of these categories. The implications of this result for the gravitational wave background are discussed in Roberts, Saripalli, and Subrahmanyan.
What Are "X-Shaped" Radio Sources Telling Us? I. Very Large Array Imaging of a Large Sample of Low Axial Ratio Radio Sources
我们提出了历史的VLA和Jansky甚大阵多频多阵无线电连续成像的一个独特的样本的100个无线电源,已选定的基础上,低轴比。这些观测使我们有机会研究与同步加速器等离子体,是显着偏离主无线电轴的射电源,因此打开了一个窗口,调查负责沉积等离子体在离轴区域的物理机制。这些图像将在本系列的后续论文中详细讨论(Saripalli & Roberts 2017; Roberts & Saripalli 2017)。

Catalogue with visual morphological classification of 32,616 radio galaxies with optical hosts
我们提出了与光学Galerkin和具有未分辨或扩展形态I(ROGUE I)相关的射电源目录。它是由斯隆数字巡天数据发布7(SDSS DR 7)的交叉匹配星系以及来自20厘米射电天空第一图像(FIRST)和国家射电天文台VLA巡天(NVSS)目录的射电源产生的。我们创建了最大的手工目录的视觉分类的无线电对象和与他们相关联的光学宿主星系,包含32,616个星系的第一个核心内的光学位置3弧秒。所有列出的对象具有良好的质量SDSS DR 7光谱的信噪比$>$ 10和光谱红移高达$z=0.6$。通过目视检查覆盖在DSS图像上的FIRST和NVSS等高线图进行射电形态分类,而光学形态分类基于SDSS DR 7的120弧秒快照图像。ROGUE I中的大多数射电星系,即$\sim$ 93%,是无法分辨的(紧凑或细长),而其余的则表现出扩展的形态,如Fanaroff-Riley(FR)I型,II型,混合型,广角尾,窄角尾,头-尾源,以及具有间歇或重新定向喷流活动的源,即双-双,X形和Z形。大多数FR II的射电光度都很低,与FR I的光度相当。此外,由于对所有射电图和光学图像的目视检查,我们能够发现或重新分类一些射电天体,如巨型,双双,X形和Z形射电星系。所提出的样本可以作为一个数据库的培训自动识别和分类的光学和射电星系的方法。
