It is located at a redshift of 0.6 and has a linear size of 2.2 Mpc. Large sized radio sources at these redshifts are important to understand the evolution of radio sources, confinement of lobes and bridge by inter-galactic medium, radiative lifetime and possible re-acceleration scenarios in bridges that makes them radiate for longer duration. In this redshift range, only a few radio sources are known to have such large linear size. Here we present multi-frequency GMRT data of this source and spectral ageing analysis. |
