What are FRIs made of?

Internal vs. external pressures
•FRI equipartition lobe pressures are typically lower than thermal pressure of environment (e.g. Morganti et al. 1988, Worrall & Birkinshaw 2000, Croston et al. 2003).
•Lack of IC emission rules out dominant electron population as source of missing pressure.
•“Average” pressure ratios for this sample range from 0.7 and 45.
•Not all FRIs require pressure from non-radiating particles…
•Is there anything special about the ones that don’t?

Pressure ratios and particle content
•If entrainment is the origin of the non-radiating pressure component, then the apparent imbalance should depend on its efficiency.
•Sources with jets inside lobes: 3C 76.1, 3C 296, NGC 4261, 3C 66B(?)
•Sources with jets propagating through the IGM: 3C31, NGC1044, NGC315, 3C449, NGC6251

NGC1044 – no lobesThe first direct evidence that entrainment is responsible for the apparent pressure imbalance?

Can PdV work by current radio source explain this
effect?

Summary• FRIs of all morphological types live in group
environments (1041 erg s-1 < LX < 1043 erg s-1)• Radio source morphology is related to gas
distribution.• Non-radiating particles are required in most,
but not all, FRIs to achieve pressure balance with the environment.
• Pressure imbalance is linked to source morphology: direct evidence that entrainment provides the non-radiating particle population.
• Radio-source environments are hotter than comparable radio-quiet groups, but PdV work by the current radio galaxy may not be able to achieve this heating.
• Small (young?) FRIs can shock-heat galaxy atmospheres, injecting large amounts of energy – potentially an important galaxy feedback process.
