Cover Story: Analytical models of powerful radio galaxies are essential for the interpretation of synchrotron emission and feedback on the surrounding gas from the tens of millions of radio sources that will be observed by the SKA and pathfinder instruments. In this review, we group such models into two classes, with the forward expansion of the radio source being driven by either the jet momentum flux or lobe internal pressure. We extend the mathematical formalism of historical models to describe source expansion in non-uniform environments, consistent with the current generation of analytical models, e.g., radio and X-ray images from the RAiSE code are shown in the cover image. This approach enables direct comparison of different model classes with each other and with hydrodynamic simulations. View this paper

Gamma Ray Pulsars and Opportunities for the MACE Telescope

  • Atul Pathania,
  • Krishna Kumar Singh and
  • Kuldeep Kumar Yadav

17 August 2023

Rapidly rotating neutron stars with very strong surface magnetic fields are observed to emit pulsed emission in the whole range of electromagnetic spectrum from radio to high-energy gamma rays. These so-called pulsars are known for their exceptional...

  • Catalina Arcos

17 August 2023

The IR spectra of Be stars display numerous hydrogen recombination lines, constituting a great resource for obtaining information on the physical and dynamic structures of different regions within the circumstellar envelope. Nevertheless, this spectr...

Multidimensional Simulations of Core Convection

  • Daniel Lecoanet and
  • Philipp V. F. Edelmann

The cores of main sequence intermediate- and high-mass stars are convective. Mixing at the radiative–convective boundary, waves excited by the convection, and magnetic fields generated by convective dynamos all influence the main sequence and p...

Searching for Short-Timescale Transients in Gamma-ray Telescope Data

  • Annanay Jaitly,
  • Dmitriy Kostunin and
  • Karin Cescon

Astrophysical sources show variability in their emissions over a range of timescales, with transients such as fast radio bursts (FRBs) and magnetar giant flares (MGFs) showing variability on timescales as short as a few milliseconds. Recent advances...

Dynamics of Powerful Radio Galaxies

  • Ross J. Turner and
  • Stanislav S. Shabala

Analytical models describing the dynamics of lobed radio sources are essential for interpretation of the tens of millions of radio sources that will be observed by the Square Kilometre Array and pathfinder instruments. We propose that historical mode...

What Drives the Ionized Gas Outflows in Radio-Quiet AGN?

  • Mainak Singha,
  • Christopher P. O’Dea and
  • Stefi A. Baum

We review the mechanisms driving the ionized gas outflows in radio-quiet (RQ) AGN. Although it constitutes ∼90% of the AGN population, what drives these outflows in these AGNs remains an open question. High-resolution imaging and integral field u...

Probing Neutrino Production in Blazars by Millimeter VLBI

  • Yuri Y. Kovalev,
  • Alexander V. Plavin,
  • Alexander B. Pushkarev and
  • Sergey V. Troitsky

The advancement of neutrino observatories has sparked a surge in multi-messenger astronomy. Multiple neutrino associations among blazars are reported while neutrino production sites are located within their central (sub)parsecs. Yet, many questions r...

There is growing evidence that many Be stars are parts of binary systems. As the B-type primaries are very fast rotators and their spectral lines may be distorted by the circumstellar material, it is not easy to measure their radial velocity directly...
