An integral-field spectroscopic study of low-powered radio galaxies by Warren, J

“…We focus here on the spatially-resolved stellar kinematics, stellar populations, and ionized gas distribution, kinematics and ionization derived from integral-field spectroscopic (IFS) observations with the Visible Multi-object Spectrograph (VIMOS) and archival data from the Multi-unit Spectroscopic Explorer (MUSE), both on the Very Large Telescope (VLT). We compare the characteristics and properties (accessible with V-band IFS data) of our sample of low-power radio galaxies to those of ordinary (i.e. optically-selected) ETGs from the Atlas^3D and MASSIVE IFS surveys.…”
