WISEA J110524.16+594341.2 also known as J1105+5943 and J110524.25+594342.0, is a radio galaxy located in the constellation of Ursa Major. The redshift of the galaxy is (z) 0.35[1] and it was first discovered from the Sixth Cambridge Survey of Radio Sources by astronomers in September 1990.[2]

Description

WISEA J110524.16+594341.2 is a red luminous galaxy residing in the WHL J110524.2+594342 galaxy cluster, with a total angular separation between it and the cluster center estimated to be just one arcsecond and a linear distance of 5.0 kiloparsecs.[3][4]

The nucleus is active and has been categorized as a Fanaroff-Riley Class Type II radio galaxy with a total radio luminosity of 5.60 × 1043 erg s-1 and contains a compact radio source.[5][6] The total flux density calculated by the NRAO VLA Sky Survey (NVSS) is 81.00 mJy at 1.4 GHz frequencies. The absolute magnitude of the galaxy is -22.92 magnitude.[6]

A study found it is a wide angle-tail (WAT) radio galaxy. The radio spectra index between 3 GHz and 1.4 GHz is 0.7α and the total flux density is 51.95 mJy at 3 GHz frequencies. The 1.4 GHz logarithmic luminosity is 25.58 W Hz-1. A radio jet is present, with the jet opening angle estimated to be 122.5° and a jet curvature radius of 17.5 arcseconds in total. The largest angular size is 37 arcseconds, while the largest linear size is 192.0 kiloparsecs.[4] The flux density at 1400 MHz is 89 mJy and the flux density at 150 MHz is 504 mJy.[5]
