Multiwavelength Observations of the Second-Largest Known Fanaroff-Riley Type II Radio Galaxy, NVSS 2146+82

Multiwavelength Observations of the Second-Largest Known Fanaroff-Riley Type II Radio Galaxy, NVSS 2146+82

We present multifrequency VLA observations, multicolor CCD imaging, optical spectroscopy, and ROSAT HRI observations of the giant FR II radio galaxy NVSS 2146+82. This galaxy, which was discovered by the NRAO VLA Sky Survey, has an angular extent of nearly 20' from lobe to lobe. The radio structure is normal …
