Mondal (SKBU) Abstract Type : Poster Abstract Category : Extragalactic astronomy Abstract : X-shaped or 'winged' radio galaxies are a small sub-class of extra-galactic radio sources that exhibit pair of low surface brightness radio lobes oriented at an angle to the 'active', or high surface brightness lobes, giving the total source an 'X' like shape. We are looking for X-shaped radio galaxies from the high resolution FIRST survey at 1400 MHz. We have identified more than hundred new X-shaped radio galaxies from our study. Here we will report physical properties of these newly discovered tailed radio galaxies. We will also study various statistical properties of newly discovered galaxies as our findings made the number of known X-shaped radio galaxies to be more than double of previously known. |
