RC J0105+0501: A radio galaxy with redshift z≈3.5

We study the radio galaxy RC J0105+0501 by using observations with RATAN-600, VLA, and 6-m Special Astrophysical Observatory telescope. The radio source has a structure resembling the FRII type and the spectral index a=1.23; it is identified with a faint galaxy of {expression} in R c . The optical o...

Description
Summary:We study the radio galaxy RC J0105+0501 by using observations with RATAN-600, VLA, and 6-m Special Astrophysical Observatory telescope. The radio source has a structure resembling the FRII type and the spectral index a=1.23; it is identified with a faint galaxy of {expression} in R c . The optical object is {expression} brighter in V than it is in B and has an extended structure, which we interpret as intense Lya line emission with redshift z-3.5 and a continuum depression in the adjacent short-wavelength region. Based on BVR c I c photometry, we also estimated the age of the stellar population of the radio galaxy.
