AI总结:

本文利用DRAGNhunter算法在FIRST巡天中搜索巨型射电星系,通过目视确认发现了63个新的GRGs,解决了传统方法难以识别大角尺寸源的问题。

摘要:

巨型射电星系(GRGs)是活动星系核(AGN),其射电辐射延伸至投影尺寸大于0.7兆秒差距(Mpc)。与GRGs相关的大角尺寸使得传统源查找器在射电巡天图像中难以识别它们。在本注释中,我们使用DRAGNhunter算法(一种旨在发现双瓣射电星系的算法)在Faint Images of the Radio Sky at Twenty cm巡天(FIRST)中搜索GRGs。对识别出的候选体进行射电和光学图像的目视检查以确认其真实性,最终发现了63个此前未报道的GRGs。

英文摘要:

Giant Radio Galaxies (GRGs) are Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) with radio emission that extends over projected sizes $>0.7\,$Mpc. The large angular sizes associated with GRGs complicate their identification in radio survey images using traditional source finders. In this Note, we use DRAGNhunter, an algorithm designed to find double-lobed radio galaxies, to search for GRGs in the Faint Images of the Radio Sky at Twenty cm survey (FIRST). Radio and optical images of identified candidates are visually inspected to confirm their authenticity, resulting in the discovery of $63$ previously unreported GRGs.
