GB2 0909+353: One of the Largest Double Radio Source

Jamrozy M., Machalski J.

Acta Astronomica

1999

Vol. 49, No. 2

181--188

The evidences 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.
