A core-jet structure, visible in radio and X-rays, is enclosed within a $\\sim$220 kpc wide radio structure. The morphology and spectral characteristics of the kiloparsec jet in radio and X-rays are typical of Fanaroff-Riley type I galaxies. The analysis of the radio data and optical spectrum and different diagnostic methods based on the optical, infrared and $\\gamma$-ray luminosities also support a classification as a low-power radio galaxy seen at moderate angles ($\\theta=$10$^\\circ$-20$^\\circ$). In the framework of leptonic models, the high-energy peak of the non-thermal nuclear spectral energy distribution can be explained in terms of synchrotron-self-Compton emission from a jet seen at $\\theta\\sim$15$^\\circ$. Similarly to other misaligned AGNs detected by Fermi, the required bulk motion is lower ($\\Gamma_{\\rm bulk}=$4) than the values inferred in BL Lac objects, confirming that, because of the de-boosting of emission from the highly-relativistic blazar region, these nearby systems are valuable targets to probe the existence of multiple sites of production of the most energetic emission in the jets.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2018-10-05T13:22:54.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "radio galaxy ic", "ray sources", "fermi large area telescope agn", "third fermi large area telescope", "non-thermal nuclear spectral energy distribution" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 11, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
