About Alcyoneus

Alcyoneus is a low-excitation, Fanaroff–Riley class II radio galaxy located 3.5 billion light-years from Earth, with host galaxy SDSS J081421.68+522410.0. It is located in the constellation Lynx and it was discovered in Low-Frequency Array (LOFAR) data by a team of astronomers led by Martijn Oei. As of 2024, it has the second-largest extent of radio structure of any radio galaxy identified, with lobed structures spanning 5 megaparsecs across, described by its discoverers at the time as the "largest known structure of galactic origin." It has since been superseded by two other radio galaxies, SDSS J081956.41+323537.6 and Porphyrion, with lobed structures of 5.07 megaparsecs and 7 megaparsecs.
