    the radio wave from the middle doesn't seem to come from the center of the IF... edge on blackhole with an accretion disk?

    The resolution of our infrared image cannot determine if the infrared source at the centre of the image is more than one galaxy. Very similar to someone who needs glasses to see but doesn't have the prescription quite right. The radio source, being off centre, tells me that there is indeed more than one infrared galaxy making up the bright infrared source in the centre of the image. Whether these are galaxies merging is a question to follow-up on.
