3C 244.1

Ursa Major B or 3C 244.1 is a radio galaxy located in the constellation Ursa Major. It is classified as a Fanaroff-Riley Type II (FRII) radio source, which means that the luminosity increases with distance from the core. There are two, asymmetrical radio-emitting lobes straddling the parent galaxy. These lobes have an angular separation of 52″ at a position angle of 168°. When measured in the optical band, this galaxy has a redshift value of z = 0.428, corresponding to a distance of 1.5 Gpc. 3C 244.1 is located within a cluster of other galaxies.
