NGC 4261 NGC 4261 is an elliptical galaxy located behind the Virgo Cluster in the W-cloud. [3] The active galactic nucleus (AGN) contains a 400 million solar mass supermassive black hole (SMBH) [4] with a 800 light-year-wide spiral-shaped disk of dust fueling it.

The jets extending east-west fuel the large lobes of radio emission seen clearly in the high quality image. Credit: Teddy Cheung
Say some stuff here... About various properties
ATOM (HESS optical telescope), RXTE Rossi X-Ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) : , Swift Ssc synchrotron self compton SED of PKS 2155–304. The red butterfly is the Fermi spectrum restricted to the MJD 54704–54715 period, while the black butterfly covers MJD 54682–54743. As a cross check of the fit robustness, the differential flux was estimated in eight limited energy bins by a power-law fit (black circles) and are found to be consistent within 1σ of the global fit, including a clear spectral break at ~1 GeV. The gray points are archival NED data, and the two gray butterflies are EGRET measurements. The solid line is a one-zone SSC model. The dashed and the dot-dashed lines are the same model without electrons above γ 1 and γ 2 , respectively. The VHE part is absorbed with the P 0.45 extragalactic background model described in Aharonian et al. ( 2006a ).
Furthermore, the lack of a significant impact on the shape of the SSC component when those electrons are removed indicates that Klein–Nishina effects suppress any significant contribution by those electrons to the emission at ∼TeV energies. These features of this calculation allow that there need not be a correlation between the X-ray and VHE fluxes; and in fact, this is what is observed. In contrast with the 2006 July flare, we do not find any evidence of flux correlation between the X-ray and HESS bands with a Pearson’s r of 0.12 ± 0.1 between these bands.
