Next: Data reduction Up: Spectral observations and data Previous: Observations with the KPNO . Follow-up spectroscopy with this telescope was conducted as a back-up for a main program which needed photometric conditions. So, the observations presented here were obtained in non-photometric conditions and the absolute flux calibration of the data is unreliable. The Cassegrain focal reducer CAFOS of the 2.2m telescope was used with a long slit of 300 3 and a grism of 187 ? ...

... 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"). ...

... Let us first find out which way -- rise in spectral resolution with some loss in the S/N ratio or increase in the S/N ratio with a fixed spectral resolution -- is better for the purpose of reduction of equivalent width determination errors. ...
