TL;DR
This paper reports the discovery of optical and X-ray synchrotron emission from the jet in galaxy NGC 7385, revealing new insights into jet morphology and interactions in low-power radio galaxies.
Contribution
It presents the first detection of optical and X-ray synchrotron emission from NGC 7385's jet, highlighting jet-cloud interactions affecting jet morphology.
Findings
Optical and X-ray synchrotron emission detected from NGC 7385's jet.
Jet length is approximately 5 kpc with morphology similar to other low-power radio galaxy jets.
A strong jet-cloud interaction is observed, causing jet deflection and reversal.
Abstract
We report the discovery of optical and X-ray synchrotron emission from the brighter radio jet in galaxy NGC 7385 using data from HST and Chandra. The jet has a projected length of 5 kpc and a similar morphology to other known optical jets in low-power radio galaxies. We also report a strong jet-cloud interaction which appears to be deflecting the counter-jet and causing a reversal in its direction.
