Abstract
Here we study the flux densities distribution at 1380, 4908 and 15365 MHz, as well as the radio spectral index of 3C 84, a Double Radio source Associated with Galactic Nucleus (DRAGN). 3C 84 is the dominant giant elliptical galaxy in the Perseus cluster, and thus very interesting for our research. This famous radio galaxy Perseus A has Relaxed Double classification because it has the large halo, with the lack of its compact structure. We show its structure (using 2D and 3D flux density plot). Besides, we calculated the radio spectral index, which we then used to investigate the nature and mechanisms of its radiation. The obtained values of spectral indices indicated that the northern hotspot is dominated by synchrotron radiation, while in southern hotspot there are thermal and non-thermal radiations, depending on the studied frequency pairs.
