SDSS J110012.38+084616.3 known as J1100+0846, is a type 2 quasar[2] located in the constellation of Leo. The redshift of the object is (z) 0.1004[1] and it was first discovered by astronomers in March 2009 through an infrared photometric study.[3] It is classified as radio-quiet.[4]

Description

SDSS J110012.38+084616.3 is classified as a large moderately inclined type SBb barred spiral galaxy with an undisturbed appearance based on it showing no evidence of any galaxy mergers and a total star formation rate estimating to be 34 Mʘ per year.[5][6][7] There are presence of spiral arms in the galaxy with carbon monoxide (CO) mapping describing the first arm as having a negative velocity on the western bar edge and a positive velocity on the second arm on the eastern bar edge. A large region of molecular gas is found in the galaxy according to imaging made with Atacama Large Millimeter Array.[7]

The doubly ionized oxygen [O III] emission appears to be very compact when imaged with Advanced Camera for Surveys instrument abroad the Hubble Space Telescope. Based on imaging, it has a near circular appearance and a small tail slightly extended towards the south-east direction. In its nucleus, there is radio emission blueshifted to southeast with a full width at half maximum velocity of 1000 kilometers per seconds. Disturbed kinematics can be seen extending northwest from the nucleus to single-component emission lines.[6] The radio morphology of the galaxy can be classified as having an irregular radio features with nuclear components either being dominated by its jet, lobe or by wind, and a linear size of 0.8 kiloparsec.[8] The kinetic power of the jet is estimated to be 8.3+2.5-2 x 1043 erg s-1.[9]

A study made in 2024, has shown the nuclear radio emission is elongating towards the direction that is consistent with its radio structure. Observations also showed there is presence of hydrogen-alpha emission in the galaxy tracing both its disk and spiral arms. A moment 2 map found the velocity dispersion is mainly low in relation with the arms whereas the central region has a high turbulence of gas with velocity dispersions reaching upwards to 500 kilometers per seconds. Results also showed the total mass of the outflow in the galaxy is 6 Mʘ per year with an outflow kinetic power of 1.8 ± 2.8 x 1042 erg s-1 and maximum outflow velocity of 977 ± 120 kilometers per seconds.[9] In its emission line profiles, broad wings are present over the field of view with an extent of 9 x 6 kiloparsecs.[10] Crystalline silicate features were also detected in weak radio emission of the galaxy's spectra at a 23 ɥm band by James Webb Space Telescope, suggesting the galaxy is moderately obscured.[11]
