Source Notes:
Source position and its uncertainty:
- no information available
- the source position provided by
NED is used
From
Mariotti et al.(2010):
- NGC 1275 is the central radio galaxy of the Perseus cluster of galaxies
- No signal is detected above 400 GeV
- The VHE detection happened during a period of increased high
gamma-ray activity of NGC 1275, as reported in July 2010
by the Fermi/LAT collaboration,
ATel 2737, and continuing until
October, according to an analysis of public
Fermi/LAT data.
Spectral Information:
From
Aleksic et al. (2011):
- Spectral index: 4.1 +/- 0.7(stat) +/- 0.3(syst)
- Flux: 2.5% +/- 0.4(stat) Crab
From
Aleksic et al. (2011):
- Spectral index: about 4 below 600 GeV
Distance:
- The redshift of z = 0.017559 +/- 0.000037 quoted here is from
Strauss et al. (1992)
Classification:
From
Brown & Adams (2011):
- "Classified as a Fanaroff–Riley type I (FR I) radio galaxy, NGC 1275
is extremely radio bright, exhibiting clear structure of a compact central
source and an extended jet (e.g.
Vermeulen et al. 1994;
Asada et al. 2006)."
From
Aleksic et al. (2014):
- "In radio, the emission is dominated by a very bright compact source
(3C 84) at the center of the galaxy. The core-dominated morphology
with asymmetrical jets at both kpc (
Pedlar et al. 1990) and pc scales
(
Asada et al. 2006) looks like a FanaroffRiley type I (FR I) radio
galaxy with a jet axis relatively close to the line of sight."
