3C 159 - a double emission-line radio galaxy
An optical identification for 3C 159 is reported with a 19-mag emission-line radio galaxy at z = 0.482. Photometric measurements show it to be unusually bright and blue. The emission lines are of exceptionally high luminosity, and are split into two components separated by 598 + or - 13 km/s and 3 kpc along the spectrograph slit. A VLA may show that one of the radio lobes has two hot spots with tails of emission leading to both. 21 references.
