Spiral DRAGNs are a type of galaxy; spiral galaxies which contain DRAGNs (Double Radio-source Associated with Galactic Nucleus), and are therefore also radio galaxies.

Most DRAGNs are associated with elliptical galaxies, as are most double-lobed radio-galaxies.[1] Spiral DRAGNs are inconsistent with currently known galaxy formation processes.[2] As of 2023, there are 17 known spiral DRAGNs that are widely accepted.[3]

Lenticlular galaxies containing DRAGNs are as rare as spiral DRAGNs, with only 5 known examples as of 2020,[4] including: Centaurus A,[5][6] NGC 612[7] and NGC 1534.[4]

Galaxy Identified Date Notes
galaxy 0313-192 2003 First known spiral DRAGN, located in Abell 428. It is the first spiral DRAGN with VLBI detection.[8] [9][10]
Speca 2011 Second known spiral DRAGN. It was the second galaxy shown to have three episodes of periodic activity, the first was an elliptical. [NB 1][11][10]
J2345-0449 2014 Third known spiral DRAGN with two episodic activities, observed at radio wavelengths and measuring about 1.6 megaparsecs in total size. [12]
SDSS J1649+2635 2014 Fourth known spiral DRAGN; first located in a grand design spiral galaxy. It was discovered by cross-matching spiral galaxies identified by galaxy zoo volunteers with the Unified Radio Catalog. It was the first systematic search for spiral DRAGNs. [1][13][10][14]

J1352+3126 2015 Candidate: Galaxy was well studied at the time of the discovery by Singh et al. The galaxy was classified as spiral or irregular galaxy. [15]
MCG+07-47-10 2016 radio source has a low luminosity [17]

J0209+0750 2022 loose spiral arms, has star-forming clumps [19]
J0806+0624 2022 several spiral arms and a luminous bar-like feature [19]
J1328+5710 2022 low-mass, low-redshift galaxy with many star-forming regions, at least two prominent arms and a strong bar. One of the few intermediate massive black holes (≤ 105 M) with a strong radio emission and the first with a double-lobed radio emission. [19]
J1656+6407 2022 extremely massive star-forming spiral galaxy [19]
J1128+2417 2022 star-forming clumps in the arms [19]
J1646+383 2022 dust-lane with peculiar arc-like shape [19]
J0326-0623 2023 two major spiral arms, scale of the radio lobes is 430 kpc [3]
J1110+0321 2023 scale of the radio lobes is 100 kpc [3]
J1134+3046 2023 scale of the radio lobes is 380 kpc [3]
