VizieR Online Data Catalog: Catalog of giant radio sources known to date (Kuzmicz+, 2018)
Abstract
In this paper, we present a catalog of giant radio sources (GRSs) known to date. We provide their principal parameters as well as characteristics of the sample. In this compilation of GRSs we do not consider objects such as cluster radio relics and/or radio halos that can also exceed our defining size of 700kpc.
For several years we have been browsing the literature, including survey results, and analyzing data to search for radio galaxies of large linear sizes. We focused mostly on the existing compilations of giants, as well as published studies of individual sources of such types, but also examined well-studied samples such as 3CRR (Laing+, 1983, J/MNRAS/204/151) and compilations of structures of radio sources such as, for example, that by Nilsson (1998, J/A+AS/132/31). In effect we have compiled a list of all GRSs known to the end of 2017. (2 data files).- Publication:
