    Rare finding of a 100 kpc large double-lobed radio galaxy hosted in the Narrow Line Seyfert 1 galaxy SDSS J103024.95+551622.7

    Among the large varieties of active galactic nuclei (AGN) known, narrow line Seyfert 1 (NLSy1) galaxies are a puzzling class, particularly after the discovery of γ-ray emission in a handful of them using observations from the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope. Here, we report the discovery of a rare large double lobed radio source with its radio core associated with a NLSy1 galaxy SDSS J103024.95+551622.7 at z = 0.435. The lobe separation is 116 kpc which is the second largest known projected size among NLSy1 radio sources. This finding is based on the analysis of 1.4 GHz data from the Faint Images of the Radio Sky at Twenty-centimeters (FIRST) archives. (...)

    Statement taken from the paper:

    Thus, this new object reported here SDSS J103024.95+551622.7, and hosted in a spiral galaxy may represent an opportunity to investigate non-standard modes of relativistic jet production in passively evolving galaxies with smaller black holes masses which may have been more common in the early Universe, prior to the rise of merger-remnant ellipticals and supermassive black holes.
