Radio observations hint at active galactic nucleus in nearby spiral galaxy NGC 4527 – New Study



Argentinian astronomers have employed the upgraded Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (uGMRT) to perform high-resolution radio observations of a nearby spiral galaxy designated NGC 4527. Results of the observational campaign, published July 2 on the arXiv preprint server, shed more light on the nature of this galaxy, suggesting that it hosts an active galactic nucleus.



Summary

Argentinian astronomers used the upgraded Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (uGMRT) to study the nearby spiral galaxy NGC 4527. Their high-resolution radio observations, published on arXiv, reveal evidence suggesting the presence of an active galactic nucleus (AGN) at the galaxy’s center. This research provides valuable insights into the nature of NGC 4527, indicating a potentially energetic core despite the galaxy’s relatively peaceful appearance. The findings highlight the uGMRT’s capability in uncovering hidden features in nearby galaxies.
