Shweta Srivastava, Physical Research Laboratory, Ahmedabad Abstract Type : Poster Abstract Category : Extragalactic astronomy Abstract : We present 20 and 50 cm maps of IC 711, perhaps the largest known head-tail radio galaxy, extending to 18' (almost a Mpc). The galaxy lies in Abell cluster 1314 which hosts another radio galaxy IC 708 in the peculiar shape of a highly bent bow (Rama's Dhanush!). We endeavour to unravel some of the mysteries of these radio galaxies and their host cluster Abell 1314 |
