Description

The SKA_LOW pathfinder MWA (Murchison Wide Array) executed the first all-sky radio survey in the 80-230MHz range, revealing more than 300000 extragalactic sources. Combined with data up to 20GHz, we build exquisite radio SEDs (>~30 data-points) of a sample of a well-known sample of 70 high redshift radio galaxies (the HeRGE sample: L_3GHz restframe > 10^26 W/Hz and z>1). The synchrotron emission is composed of the core, jet and the lobe emission, providing insight on the direct vicinity of the galaxy and the accretion properties of the central supermassive black hole (SMBH). Combined with our previous multi-wavelength campaign from optical to submm (including VLT, Keck, HST, Spitzer, Herschel, SCUBA, LABOCA, and more recently ALMA), providing information on the host galaxy, we now investigate simultaneously the mechanical (from radio) and  radiative (from IR) of the SMBH hosted in these progenitors of our local massive galaxies. I will present the results from our radio SED fitting and discuss the connection with our previous results in term of radio loud AGN evolution at the peak of activity in the Universe.
