Scientific paper

A very large array (VLA) map at 1.4 GHz is presented of NGC3309, one of a pair of giant elliptical galaxies dominating the center of the Hydra cluster (Abell 1060). The galaxy shows an S-shaped radio source similar to M84 in Virgo and NGC708 in Abell 262. The small size and low luminosity of these radio sources could be due to a recent tidal interaction responsible for their S-shape.
