J2341+0018 also known as PKS 2338+000 and OGC 123, is a BL Lacertae object located in the constellation of Pisces. The redshift of the object is (z) 0.276[1] and it is the brightest cluster galaxy (BCG) of an X-ray galaxy cluster called RX J2341.1+0018.[2]

Description

J2341+0018 is an elliptical galaxy with a radio-loud active galactic nucleus (AGN) and has an R-band luminosity of 12.3 magnitude based on the R-band luminosity estimation made with Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS).[3][4] It is also an early-type galaxy with a total stellar mass that is estimated to be 11.58 M and a total hydrogen-alpha (Hα) star formation of 55.84 M per year.[2] The optical spectrum of the galaxy shows the presence of strong emission lines positioned on top of a stellar continuum, thus ruling out the possibility of a blazar source. The lines are significantly broad, with full width at half maximum speeds of up to 1,400 kilometers per second, suggesting the line kinematics are disturbed.[3] The g – r color offset of J2341+0018 is -0.58 magnitude.[5]

The radio source of J2341+0018 has an unresolved appearance. Its spectral energy distribution has a steep radio spectrum at high frequencies, yet also flattening less than a few hundred GHz. The spectral energy distribution of the source has a turnover frequency based on its flux density at 365 MHz. The spectral energy distribution component has parameters of 2.62 ± 0.01, -0.16 ± 0.06 and -0.15 ± 0.04 respectively based on a fit measurement with a low peak gigahertz peaked component.[6]

Further radio imaging of J2341+0018 made with Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) detected a radio core with an inverted spectrum as well as a radio jet. The core has a total flux density of 70 mJy,while the jet has a flux density of 270 mJy. Most of the radio emission is concentrated inside a component within the central radius of 120 parsecs.[3] The jet on parsec-scales is estimated to have a position angle of 52°, while the median distance between the core and jet components is 5.4 milliarcseconds.[7] A study published in 2022, described J2341+0018 as a weak source with detected variability of 4.5% and has a mean flux density of 98 mJy at 15 GHz.[8]
