New AGN found

[Olivier GARDE]

During our mission on Calern's T1M, we discovered a new active core galaxy. (AGN)


On the raw spectrum that appeared on the screen we could see that the lines were shifted in the red


The spectrum shows the Balmers lines in emissions as well as the [OIII] lines


The table here, shows the redshift z calculation.

Publication (with 3 others galaxies) is in progress...

Bravo ! Belle découverte !

[Robin Leadbeater]

Very nice ! This could be a suitable project for my faint object ALPY 200. Was this a specific target or part of a general survey ?

Cheers

Fantastic discovery Olivier! Will they let you take the 1m home with you?

Woody,

No... , But it's a wonderful telescope with very good pointing and tracking accuracy.
