Exploring the halo around an extremely massive comma jet launching spiral galaxy
收藏资源简介:
Here we propose to observe the extremely massive, rapidly rotating, relativisticjet launching, spiral galaxy 2MASX J234532680449256 for 85ks to observe its hothalo, measure its mass content and map its morphology. It is extremely rare fora massive spiral galaxy to eject relativistic jets, as they are nearly alwayslaunched from the nuclei of bulge dominated ellipticals and not flat spirals. Itis clear that J23450449 is an extremely rare system whose properties challengethe standard paradigm for the formation of relativistic jets in AGN. DetailedXray observations are necessary to understand this system and complement theexcellent HST, Gemini, GMRT and VLA data. truncated!, Please see actual data for full text [truncated!, Please see actual data for full text]
