1ES 0414+009 known as H 0414+009, is a BL Lacertae object with an active galactic nucleus[2] located in the constellation of Taurus. The redshift of the object is (z) 0.287[1] and it was first discovered by M.P. Ulmer and other astronomers who described its radio spectrum as mainly flat with its optical spectrum categorized as featureless.[3]
1ES 0414+009 is located in the center of a moderately rich galaxy cluster.[4] The host galaxy is a giant luminous elliptical galaxy of either a cD or BCG type.[5][6] The total host magnitude of the galaxy is estimated as between 17.45 and 17.80[7] and its luminosity profile is best fitted with an elliptical model with a total estimated radius of 29 kiloparsecs.[8] The central supermassive black hole mass of the galaxy is 2 × 109 M☉.[9][10]
Very high energy gamma ray (VHE) emission was detected from the galaxy in 2009. The average flux is estimated to be above the energy units of 1 GeV, reaching 0.67 ± 0.21 × 10−9 photons cm−2 s−1 with a measured hard spectrum index of 1.78 ± 0.23.[11] This places it under the classification of high frequency-peaked BL Lac objects or a blazar.[12][13]
The radio structure of the galaxy is compact. When observed, it is found to contain a radio core that is unresolved, with a flux density of 75 ± 2 Jy and a radio tail that is extending outwards from it by 40 arcseconds.[14] There is also an extended radio jet towards the east-northeast from the core region with traces of weak radio emission in the southeast direction. This heavily suggests the jet has a bend angle to the south upon reaching 10 parsecs from the core.[15] Further imaging has found there are inner jet components present with their position angle varying from 56° to 90°, while the outer jet components are between 88° and 124°.[16]
