Abstract
Giant Radio Galaxies (GRGs) are Active Galactic Nuclei with radio emission that extends over projected sizes >0.7 Mpc. The large angular sizes associated with GRGs complicate their identification in radio survey images using traditional source finders. In this Note, we use DRAGNhunter, an algorithm designed to find double-lobed radio galaxies, to search for GRGs in the Faint Images of the Radio Sky at Twenty cm survey. Radio and optical images of identified candidates are visually inspected to confirm their authenticity, resulting in the discovery of 63 previously unreported GRGs.
