3C236 is the largest radio source known. It has a 39 arcmin double structure (3.0 Mpc, Ho=75 kms−1 Mpc−1) in which the SE lobe is narrow and edge-brightened and the NW lobe more diffuse and centre-brightened (Barthel et al., 1985). About half the flux density comes from a steep spectrum (α = −0.7) radio core of overall size 1.3 arcsec (2.2 kpc) located in the centre of a 17m elliptical galaxy with redshift 0.0988.
