A team of professional and citizen scientists from the Radio Galaxy Zoo project has doubled the known sample of a rare class of galaxies known as Hybrid Morphology Radio Sources (HyMoRS). Most galaxies, just like our Milky Way, harbour a central supermassive black hole. For some galaxies, the consumption of matter by their central black hole result in the emission of large radio jets. These galaxies, known as radio galaxies, are typically divided into two classes: Fanaroff-Riley
I and II, named after two astronomers Bernie Fanaroff and Julia Riley who introduced the classes in their study in 1974. In this work, the scientists double the numbers of the peculiar hybrid radio galaxy type. Not only we don't know how these hybrids form, we don't even have enough of them for detailed study. The new publication attempts to change that, screening through the whole sky in search of these objects.
