ABSTRACT Feedback from radio jets associated with active galactic nuclei (AGNs) plays a profound role in the evolution of galaxies. Kinetic power these appears to show temporal variation, but mechanism(s) responsible for this process are not yet clear. Recently, LOw Frequency ARray (LOFAR) has uncovered large populations active, remnant, and restarted jet populations. By focusing on LOFAR data Lockman Hole, work we use Radio AGNs Semi-Analytic Environments (RAiSE) dynamical model present...

Double-double radio galaxies (DDRGs) represent a short but unique phase in the life-cycle of some most powerful radio-loud active galactic nuclei (RLAGN). These display large-scale remnant plasma intergalactic medium left behind by past episode (AGN) activity, and meanwhile, jets have restarted new episode. The knowledge what causes to switch off restart is crucial our understanding galaxy evolution, while it important know if DDRGs form host dichotomy relative RLAGN. We utilised LOFAR...
Remnant radio galaxies represent an important phase in the life-cycle of active galactic nuclei. It is suggested that this phase, jets have switched off and extended emission fading rapidly. This not well-studied due to lack statistical samples observed at both low high frequencies. In work, we study a sample 23 candidate remnant previously selected using Low Frequency Array 150 MHz Lockman Hole field. We examine their morphologies spectral properties confirm nature revise morphological...
