one jet only

• by WizardHowl

  not an expert on this, my first image only! It seems like there's only one #jet : one part of the radio emission matches the IR exactly; the other, just as bright, is offset slightly but has no IR counterpart. Are there many one-lobed jets expected and are there good examples to include in the Spotter's guide?

  This is a nice example of a #doublelobe or #hourglass. The radio does seem to be offset from the radio. Not too sure why that is.

  One sided jets are indeed rare radio sources! Excellent find if one sees them 😄
