Radio Galaxy Zoo: observational evidence for environment as the cause of radio source asymmetry
We investigate the role of environment on radio galaxy properties by constructing a sample of large (≳100 kpc), nearby (|$z$| < 0.3) radio sources identified as part of the Radio Galaxy Zoo citizen science project. Our sample consists of 16 Fanaroff-Riley Type II (FR-II) sources, 6 FR-I sources, and 1 …
