Ionized gas extends over 40 kpc in an odd radio circle host galaxy

A new class of extragalactic astronomical sources discovered in 2021, named odd radio circles (ORCs)1, are large rings of faint, diffuse radio continuum emission spanning approximately 1 arcminute on the sky. Galaxies at the centres of several ORCs have photometric redshifts of z ≃ 0.3–0.6, implying physical scales of several 100 kpc in diameter for the radio emission, the origin of which is unknown. Here we report spectroscopic data on an ORC including strong [O ii] emission tracing ionized gas in the central galaxy of ORC4 at z = 0.4512. The physical extent of the [O ii] emission is approximately 40 kpc in diameter, larger than expected for a typical early-type galaxy2 but an order of magnitude smaller than the large-scale radio continuum emission. We detect an approximately 200 km s−1 velocity gradient across the [O ii] nebula, as well as a high velocity dispersion of approximately 180 km s−1. ....
