We combined radio and X-ray data of the full sample of X-ray emitting GPS/CSOs and found a significant, positive correlation between the column densities of the total and neutral hydrogen ($N_{\\rm H}$ and $N_{\\rm HI}$, respectively). Using a Bayesian approach, we simultaneously quantified the parameters of the $N_{\\rm H} - N_{\\rm HI}$ relation and the intrinsic spread of the data set. For a specific subset of our sample, we found $N_{\\rm H} \\propto N_{\\rm HI}^b$, with $b=0.93^{+0.49}_{-0.33}$, and $\\sigma_{int} (N_{\\rm H})= 1.27^{+1.30}_{-0.40}$. The $N_{\\rm H} - N_{\\rm HI}$ correlation suggests a connection between the physical properties of the radio and X-ray absorbing gas.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2015-11-05T08:25:35.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "correlation", "westerbork synthesis radio telescope", "x-ray emitting gigahertz-peaked-spectrum galaxies", "hi absorption detection", "x-ray absorbing gas" ], "publication": { "doi": "10.1002/asna.201512284", "journal": "Astronomische Nachrichten", "year": 2016, "month": "Feb", "volume": 337, "number": "1-2", "pages": 148 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 6, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2016AN....337..148O" } } }
