Highest redshift radio galaxy known in the Southern Hemisphere

Conference ·
OSTI ID:657375
We present the discovery of a z = 4 13 galaxy TN J1338-1942, the most distant radio galaxy in the southern hemisphere known to date The source was selected from a sample of Ultra Steep Spectrum (USS; {alpha}<-1 3; S {proportional_to} {nu}{sup {alpha}}) radio sauces using the Texas and NVSS catalogs The discovery spectrum, obtained with the ES0 3 6m telescope, shows bright extended Ly-{alpha} emission The radio source has a very asymmetric morphology, suggesting a strong interaction with an inhomogeneous surrounding medium
