A CO-rich merger shaping a powerful and hyperluminous infrared radio galaxy at z = 2: The Dragonfly Galaxy

In the low-redshift Universe, the most powerful radio sources are often associated with gas-rich galaxy mergers or interactions. We here present evidence for an advanced, gas-rich (‘wet’) merger associated with a powerful radio galaxy at a redshift of z ~ 2. This radio galaxy, MRC 0152-209, is the m...
