ESO 422-G028: the host of a giant radio galaxy

Abstract

ESO 422-G028 denotes the central galaxy of the giant radio source B0503-286. Here we present new high-frequency total-power and polarization radio maps of the source obtained with the Effelsberg 100 m radio telescope. Also we correlate the radio data with optical and X-ray observations to investigate the physical conditions of the host galaxy and the extended structure.
