Gb2 0909+353: One of the Largest Double Radio Source
نویسندگان
چکیده
The evidence are given that the radio source GB2 0909+353 (GB2 catalogue: Machalski 1978; ICRS 2000.0 coordinates: 09 12 51.7, +35 10 10) is likely one of the largest classical doubles known, though its optical identification is not certain. Our deep VLA observations at 5 GHz did not reveal a radio core brighter than 0.5 mJy/beam at this frequency. Thus a distance to the source is evaluated using photometric – redshift estimates of the faint galaxies in the optical field. The equipartition magnetic field and energy density in the source is calculated and compared with corresponding parameters of other 'giant' radio sources known, showing extremely low values of both physical parameters of the source investigated. On the other hand, the age of relativistic electrons, and the advance speed of the 'hot spot' in the source are typical for much smaller and brighter 3CR sources.

A Keck Survey of Gravitational Lens Systems : I. Spectroscopy of Sbs 0909+532, Hst 1411+5211, and Class B2319+051
We present new results from a continuing Keck program to study gravitational lens systems. We have obtained redshifts for three lens systems, SBS 0909+532, HST 1411+5211, and CLASS B2319+051. For all of these systems, either the source or lens redshift (or both) has been previously unidentified. Our observations provide some of these missing redshifts. We find (z ℓ , z s) = (0.830, 1.377) for S...
متن کاملA Characterization of the Suzuki Groups by Order and the Largest Elements Order
One of the important problems in group theory is characterization of a group by a given property, that is, to prove there exist only one group with a given property. Let be a finite group. We denote by the largest order of elements of . In this paper, we prove that some Suzuki groups are characterizable by order and the largest order of elements. In fact, we prove that if is a group with an...
متن کاملJ 1343 + 3758 : The third largest FRII - type radio galaxy in the Universe
A radio source of the Fanaroff–Riley type II with the angular size of 11.3 arc min is identified with an optical galaxy at z = 0.229. Thus, the projected linear extent of the radio structure is 3.14 Mpc which makes it the third largest classical double radio source known after 3C236 and WNB2147+816. The highfrequency VLA observations, a galaxy identification and its optical spectroscopy are rep...
متن کاملHST/NICMOS Observations of the Host Galaxies of Powerful Radio Sources: Does Size Matter?
We present near-infrared J and K band imaging of a sample of powerful radio source host galaxies with the Hubble Space Telescope NICMOS2 camera. These sources have been selected on their double lobed radio structure, and include a wide range of projected radio source sizes. The largest projected linear sizes range from the compact Gigahertz Peaked Spectrum (GPS, < 1 kpc) and Compact Steep Spect...
متن کاملPKS 0241 + 011 : the largest quasar ?
We have made a radio and optical study of the radio source PKS 0241+011 associated with a quasar at z = 1.40. In earlier radio maps this source appears as a large triple radio source with an angular extent of 400 arcsec (2.4h −1 Mpc; H 0 = 100h km s −1 Mpc −1 , q 0 = 0.0). If the triple radio structure seen in radio maps represents a single object, PKS 0241+011 would be the largest radio quasar...
