The Structure and Size of Radio Galaxy 1308-441
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 25 April 2016
Abstract
The structure of the radio source 1308-441 has been determined with the Molonglo and Fleurs radio telescopes. The nuclear component has been identified with a magnitude 15 galaxy and an optical spectrum, obtained with the Anglo-Australian Telescope shows galactic absorption features with a redshift of 0.0515 but no emission lines. The radio image shows the nuclear component linked by a well defined bridge to diffuse lobes extending for 11 arcmin west and 6 arcmin east. The asymmetry is believed to be due to projection effects. The projected size is 670 kpc (Ho = 100 km s-1 Mpc-1). The bridge contains several peaks with one strong unresolved peak 90 kpc from the galaxy.
