doi = 10.1086/521334] . It is among the largest known radio galaxies, with the radio structure having a total linear size in excess of 4.5 Mpc (15 millionlight year s). 3C236'shost galaxy is involved in an interaction with its nearby southern neighbor and appears to have accreted more than one billionsolar mass es of cold gas (molecularhydrogen ). Accretion of some of this material onto the centralsupermassive black hole may be triggering the current episode of galaxy activity.References
