Mentioned as a megaparsec-scale object at redshift 0.0757,[4] J2345-0449 is one of the massive spiral galaxies found in the universe.[5][6] It is also one of the largest radio sources discovered since the galaxy exhibits two sets of radio lobes found in near alignment and spanning a width of ∼387.2 kpc (∼452) and ∼1.63 Mpc (∼191).[2] According to Very Large Array 6 cm imaging, the inner radio lobes are categorized either Fanaroff-Riley Class I or FR II morphology.[7]
J2345-0449 contains a fast rotation speed of Vrot = 371/sin (i) = 429 ± 30 km s−1 that is r ≥ 10 kpc away from its galactic center.[8] It has a mass of Mstellar = 4 × 1011 M⊙ and a surrounding ring of molecular gas measured 24 kpc wide in diameter. The galaxy has a star formation rate with a surface density measured to be ΣSFR = 1.8 × 10−3M⊙ yr−1 kpc−2.[9] However it has a low factor between 30 and 70 as expected according to the Kennicutt-Schmidt law.[10]
Black hole mass of J2345-0449
The black hole mass estimation is challenging since J2345-0449 has no classic bulge structure. According to Bagchi, the black hole has a mass of 2.5 ± 0.5 × 108 M⊙. Further observations shows it has a mass of 1.4× 109 M⊙ when calculating the MBH–σ relation proposed by Gültekin.[11] However, according to researchers obtaining the M–σ relation from McConnell & Ma,[12] the actual mass of J2345-0449 is 5 × 109 M⊙.[8]
