HB9 is a 2-deg-diameter radio shell with X-ray emission from a broad diffuse band in the interior. Within this band, a weak unresolved X-ray source coincides with the radio source 4C 46.09. To identify this source CCD I and V band pictures and a spectrum were obtained. The source is a galaxy at redshift 0.195, and is therefore only accidentally aligned with HB9. The galaxy is large and bright and has the characteristics of a cD galaxy, often found at the center of clusters. If the galaxy is centered in a cluster, some of the surrounding diffuse X-rays may also be extragalactic.
