NGC 4472: a very weak radio galaxy?
Abstract
This paper reports radio observations of NGC 4472, a giant elliptical galaxy in the Virgo cluster which shows a structure typical of radio galaxies but at a radio power level usually associated with 'normal' galaxies. It is concluded that the double structure is related to factors other than the radio power.
