Reference excerpt

ILT J160811.30+325427.2 is a radio galaxy located in the constellation of Corona Borealis. The redshift of the galaxy is estimated to be (z) 0.303.

Description ILT J160811.30+325427.2 is an elliptical galaxy residing as the brightest cluster galaxy of the WHL J160810.9+325419 galaxy cluster with nine confirmed galaxy member candidates. The R-band magnitude of the galaxy is estimated to be 17.57 while its absolute magnitude is -23.54 The galaxy has a presence of an active galactic nucleus and is categorized as a bend-tail or a Fanaroff-Riley Class Type II radio galaxy hosting a FR II-like radio source with its total flux density estimated to be 87.00 mJy by NRAO VLA Sky Survey (NVSS) at 1.4 GHz frequencies. Radio imaging made by Faint Images of the Radio Sky at Twenty-Centimeters (FIRST) found the radio morphology is mainly hybrid with one radio lobe being of Fanaroff-Riley Type I while the other lobe is of Fanaroff-Riley Type II. The radio core is detected and has a flux density of 3.91 mJy while the radio emission has a flux density of 65.60 mJy. A study found it is a giant double-double radio galaxy with its components position from east to west directions. The projected sizes of both its inner and outer radio lobes are estimated to be 740 and 142 kiloparsecs in extent. The misalignment angle between its outer lobes and the radio core is 26.4° whereas the misalignment angle between both the outer and inner lobes is 5.5°. It is also a C-shaped radio galaxy residing in a poor galaxy environment, with the total source extent estimated as 0.23 megaparsecs. The total radio luminosity is 25.33 W Hz-1 while the total radio power has been found to be 26.61 × 1024 WHz-1.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with ILT J160811.30+325427.2

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what ILT J160811.30+325427.2 claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In astronomy, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to ILT J160811.30+325427.2 before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about ILT J160811.30+325427.2 ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of ILT J160811.30+325427.2

In research: ILT J160811.30+325427.2 appears in astronomy research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses ILT J160811.30+325427.2 in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: ILT J160811.30+325427.2 is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Active galaxies, Corona Borealis, Elliptical galaxies, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for ILT J160811.30+325427.2 outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
