Discovery of asymmetric optical structure in the radiogalaxies IC 708and NGC 5352.
Abstract
Red CCD images have been obtained of the radio galaxies IC 708 and NGC 5352 which reveal significant asymmetric structures within each. In IC 708 the structure coincides with a radio jet, but is too bright and too extended to be caused solely by synchrotron radiation and may be predominantly line radiation. Two large plumes are detected in NGC 5352, the longer being 62 kpc in projected length, but their nature and origin are unclear.
