3C 275.1 is a quasar located in the constellation of Coma Berenices with a redshift of (z) 0.555.[1] It was first discovered in 1986 by astronomers, and is situated in the center of a rich galaxy cluster.[2] Its host is classified as a giant elliptical galaxy, described as either a proto-cD or Type-cD galaxy with an emission nebula surrounding it.[3][4][5]

Description

3C 275.1 is classfied as a gamma-ray lobe-dominated quasar.[6] It has a radio structure consisting of a elongated core with a narrow jet heading in northwards direction based on a super-resolved radio imaging made by the Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA).[7] Radio mapping at 15 GHz with a 5-kilometer telescope shows 3C 275.1 to contain a double component showing one side as compact and the other being slightly extended.[8] A study also described the southern component of the quasar as distorted, indicating the quasar is strongly interacting with a companion galaxy.[9][10]

Observations made in 1986 revealed the presence of a rotating gas cloud around 3C 275.1 with a diameter of more than 100 kiloparsecs (Kpc). Based on observations, it was found to be the largest known to surround a quasar and is likely remnants created by tidal interactions or material that is accumulated via cooling flows originating from the cluster.[11] A more detailed study published in 2024, showed the cloud to be a nebula, containing ionized gas tails that extends up to 170 kiloparsecs, typical of Jellyfish galaxies.[12] The nebula is described as having a conical shape with a bar-shaped extension that is located southwards from the nucleus[13] with an extended component having an X-ray emission of 7.6 x 1043 erg s-1.[14]

In the center of 3C 275.1, there is a supermassive black hole estimated to have a mass of 108.3 Mʘ based on a black hole-spheroid mass ratio calculated for active galactic nuclei.[15][12] The quasar itself is paired with the nearby galaxy NGC 4651, due to the radio emitter alignment at the rear of the latter's outer galactic disk.[16]
