Radio Galaxies: Particle Acceleration, Radio Spectra, Spectrla Index Maps
Scientific paper
Two edge-darkened, tailed radio galaxies (PKS 0123-01 and PKS 2247+11) were mapped with the VLA at 1.4 and 5 GHz at sub-arcmin resolution as well as with the Effelsberg 100-m telescope at 2.7, 5 and 10.7 GHz at arcmin resolution. With additional use of existing low-frequency maps the shape of the radio spectrum is analyzed point by point across the source extent. The shape is found to be concave (i.e. having high-frequency excess) over major parts of the source extent, in the case of 2247+11 even for a region in the far radio tail. Possible mechanisms causing this feature are proposed. Using a subset of maps at higher angular resolution most of the regions with spectral flattening turn out to coincide with bends and wiggles of the radio jets and/or tails. Polarization data are available at four frequencies and some problems in their interpretation are discussed.
The following one consists of a 1-page "extended abstract" including two small figures. I attach to this message the processed postscript file which I would be happy to offer in ADS as a "scanned" paper. I include here the full extended abstract text which you could also offer as HTML code. I converted the four references to bibcodes.
