Direct HST Dust Lane Detection in Powerful Narrow-Line Radio Galaxies

Direct HST Dust Lane Detection in Powerful Narrow-Line Radio Galaxies

We present the analysis of near-infrared Hubble Space Telescope imaging of 10 Fanaroff Riley II powerful radio galaxies at low redshift (0.03 < z < 0.11) optically classified as narrow-line radio galaxies. The photometric properties of the host galaxy are measured using galfit, and com...
