B2 1525+29 is a radio galaxy located in the constellation of Corona Borealis. The redshift of the galaxy is (z) 0.065[1] and it was first discovered from a sample of 550 unresolved radio sources by astronomers in January 1977, with the total flux density for the source estimated as 0.11 ± 0.01 Jansky.[2] It has been classified as a low luminosity radio galaxy[3] and thus is associated with the second brightest member in the galaxy cluster, Abell 2079.[4]
