4C46.09 is the radio source that shows up as a point-like x-ray source inside the supernova remnant HB9 (Leahy, 1987). Leahy, 1987 found a 0.2-4 keV Einstein IPC flux of approximately 1.5 × 10−12erg cm−2s−1 and a significantly higher hardness ratio than the rest of HB9. Too few counts were available for any spectral analysis. Seward et al, 1991, found 4C46.09 to be a large radio galaxy at redshift 0.195 and distance 1280 Mpc (Ho = 50 km s−1Mpc−1). 4C46.09 is of further interest due to the observation of a high energy component in the spectrum of HB9 observed by GINGA (Yamauchi and Koyama, 1993). Whether this was due to HB9 or to 4C46.09 could not be determined.
