Abstract: | In the framework of the study of a new sample of large angular size radio galaxies selected from the NRAO VLA Sky Survey, we have made radio observations of J2114+820, a low-power radio galaxy with an angular size of 6′. Its radio structure basically consists of a prominent core, a jet directed in northwest direction and two extended S-shaped lobes. We have also observed the optical counterpart of J2114+820, a bright elliptical galaxy with a strong unresolved central component. The optical spectrum shows broad emission lines. This fact, together with its low radio power and FR-I morphology, renders J2114+820 a non-trivial object from the point of view of the current unification schemes of radio-loud active galactic nuclei. |
