The X-ray emission from the lobes of the DDRGs have been succefully modelled to be the inverse-Compton scattered cosmic microwave background (CMB) photons against the electrons and positrons of the radio lobes. The outer lobes of all the DDRGs are very close to the equipartition condition. We noticed that (1) no strong [OIII] lines are observed from the host galaxies, and (2) the host galaxies are not detected in all four bands (namely 3.4, 4.6, 12, 22 µm) of Wide-Field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) survey. (1) and (2) together suggest that the DDRGs don't have standard accretion disk at their central engines. So, the mode of accretion of these DDRGs might be the hot mode accretion of AGNs. |
