Description

Emission lines of [0 III] extended at least 70 kpc along the radio axis of the giant radio galaxy PKS 0634-20. The non-nuclear emission shows a lower state of ionization than the nucleus. The velocity range covered by the gas is only 200 km s-1 and the line-widths outside the nucleus are 60 km s-1 (FWHM). (author)
