... BTA and RATAN-600 are largest optical and radio telescopes in Russia. ... Antenna of RATAN radio telescope consist of 576-m circle of 895 elements (2 x 11.5 m), which could use as four independent sectors (225 elements) of that reflector (named: North, South, West and East). Four different feed-cabines (N1,2,3,5) with secondary mirrors could simulteniously collect radio emission from these four sectors and be used in programs of Continuum , Spectral and Solar observations. ...

... A radio galaxy is a galaxy that emits an unusually big amount of energy at radio wavelengths. ... Inside of each galaxy with an active nucleus (radio galaxies are among them) there must be a system of a "central machine" responsible for the colossal amount of the emitted energy from radio to gamma ranges. ... Sometimes a radio source in an active galaxy may flare again if the needed conditions appear (a new portion of matter would fall into the furnace of the "central machine"). ...
