## TL;DR

This study analyzes the physical properties of radio galaxies using multi-wavelength data and SED fitting, revealing dependencies on redshift and identifying diverse galaxy characteristics that challenge traditional views.

## Contribution

First comprehensive SED-based analysis of radio galaxies combining optical, IR, and radio data, uncovering new insights into their physical properties and diversity.

## Key findings

- Optically-faint RGs tend to be high redshift with high SFR and Eddington ratios.
- Certain RGs exhibit properties differing from classical models, indicating diverse evolutionary stages.
- Physical properties like $E(B-V)_*$, SFR, and IR luminosity depend on redshift.

## Abstract

We present physical properties of radio galaxies (RGs) with $f_{\rm 1.4 GHz} >$ 1 mJy discovered by Subaru Hyper Supreme-Cam (HSC) and VLA Faint Images of the Radio Sky at Twenty-Centimeters (FIRST) survey. For 1056 FIRST RGs at $0 < z \leq 1.7$ with HSC counterparts in about 100 deg$^2$, we compiled multi-wavelength data of optical, near-infrared (IR), mid-IR, far-IR, and radio (150 MHz). We derived their color excess ($E (B-V)_{*}$), stellar mass, star formation rate (SFR), IR luminosity, the ratio of IR and radio luminosity ($q_{\rm IR}$), and radio spectral index ($\alpha_{\rm radio}$) that are derived from the SED fitting with CIGALE. We also estimated Eddington ratio based on stellar mass and integration of the best-fit SEDs of AGN component. We found that $E (B-V)_{*}$, SFR, and IR luminosity clearly depend on redshift while stellar mass, $q_{\rm IR}$, and $\alpha_{\rm radio}$ do not significantly depend on redshift. Since optically-faint ($i_{\rm AB} \geq 21.3$) RGs that are newly discovered by our RG survey tend to be high redshift, they tend to not only have a large dust extinction and low stellar mass but also have high SFR and AGN luminosity, high IR luminosity, and high Eddington ratio compared to optically-bright ones. The physical properties of a fraction of RGs in our sample seem to differ from a classical view of RGs with massive stellar mass, low SFR, and low Eddington ratio, demonstrating that our RG survey with HSC and FIRST provides us curious RGs among entire RG population.
