UV Spectropolarimetry of Narrow-line Radio Galaxies
We present the results of UV spectropolarimetry (2000 - 3000A) and far-UV
spectroscopy (1500 - 2000A) of two low-redshift narrow-line radio galaxies
(NLRGs) taken with the Faint Object Spectrograph onboard the Hubble Space
Telescope (HST). Spectropolarimetry of several NLRGs has shown that, by the
presence of broad permitted lines in polarized flux spectrum, they have hidden
quasars seen through scattered light. Imaging polarimetry has shown that NLRGs
including our targets often have large scattering regions of a few kpc to >~10
kpc scale. This has posed a problem about the nature of the scatterers in these
radio galaxies. Their polarized continuum has the spectral index similar to or
no bluer than that of quasars, which favors electrons as the dominant
scattering particles. The large scattering region size, however, favors dust
scattering, because of its higher scattering efficiency compared to electrons.
In this paper, we investigate the polarized flux spectrum over a wide
wavelength range, combining our UV data with previous optical/infrared
polarimetry data. We infer that the scattering would be often caused by opaque
dust clouds in the NLRGs and this would be a part of the reason for the
apparently grey scattering. In the high-redshift radio galaxies, these opaque
clouds could be the proto-galactic subunits inferred to be seen in the HST
images. However, we still cannot rule out the possibility of electron
scattering, which could imply the existence of a large gas mass surrounding
these radio galaxies.Comment: 25 pages, 21 figures. To appear in Ap
Achimota Pararubulavirus 3: A New Bat-Derived Paramyxovirus of the Genus Pararubulavirus
Bats are an important source of viral zoonoses, including paramyxoviruses. The paramyxoviral Pararubulavirus genus contains viruses mostly derived from bats that are common, diverse, distributed throughout the Old World, and known to be zoonotic. Here, we describe a new member of the genus Achimota pararubulavirus 3 (AchPV3) and its isolation from the urine of African straw-coloured fruit bats on primary bat kidneys cells. We sequenced and analysed the genome of AchPV3 relative to other Paramyxoviridae, revealing it to be similar to known pararubulaviruses. Phylogenetic analysis of AchPV3 revealed the failure of molecular detection in the urine sample from which AchPV3 was derived and an attachment protein most closely related with AchPV2—a pararubulavirus known to cause cross-species transmission. Together these findings add to the picture of pararubulaviruses, their sources, and variable zoonotic potential, which is key to our understanding of host restriction and spillover of bat-derived paramyxoviruses. AchPV3 represents a novel candidate zoonosis and an important tool for further study
