4C +41.26 known as PGC 2174167, is a massive elliptical galaxy of type E[1] located in the constellation of Canes Venatici.

[5] Not to mention, the galaxy has a high line-of-sight peculiar velocity reaching up to vpec ~ 650 km s−1.

It has an active galactic nucleus, containing a powerful P1.4 ~ 1026 W Hz−1 bended double-lobed radio source, suggesting 4C +41.26 is likely shaped through its relative bulk intracluster medium (ICM) flow caused by one or several galaxy mergers.

[8] 4C +41.26 is part of the rich galaxy cluster[9] with at least 181 identified galaxy members, fitted through the integrated spectral energy distributions (SEDs)[10] utilized with a set of templates built with GRASIL 3d model,[11] by astronomers.

[13] It is suggested according to observations from Spitzler MIPS Data, researchers have found traces of increased starburst activity in filament galaxies inside ACO 1763.
