Application of slingshot model to the giant radio galaxy DA240 (Brief : DA 240 in slingshot model)

Abstract

We attempt a slingshot model interpretation of the unusual association of some 1&1/3 dozen nonstellar galaxian objects around the parent optical galaxy of the giant radio galaxy DA 240 (= 0748.6+55.8 (J2000)). Similar interpretation may be possible for another large radio galaxy 3C 31 (= NGC 383 = 0104.6+32.1 (1950.0)).
