unusual jet structures

• by WizardHowl

  I marked this as all the main radio sources being associated with the bright IR source directly in between them (the #overedge source seems associated with a regular IR galaxy). That makes this a #doublelobe #jet but the structure within the lobes seems highly unusual. Maybe there is a background radio source behind a foreground source? If not, it seems like the jets have been changing significantly in intensity, producing bright spots in the lobes when most active.

  This is certainly a complicated source. I'd label this as #messy and deserving of further investigation. The optical SDSS image does not help much either...... See http://cas.sdss.org/dr6/en/tools/chart/chart.asp?ra=246.16&dec=11.18
