Radio seems associated with dark patch in IR

  • Ptd by Ptd

    The right hand radio source seems to overlay a distinct dark patch in the IR, is that likely to be significant or just random coincidence?

    I suspect that the 'dark IR patches' are a mix of artifacts (the camera's response to having a bright object nearby) and illusions (a kind of 'figure and ground' WP).

    The core/host of this nice #doublelobe is possibly SDSS J113338.91+285253.4, but this close to a bright star it's hard to say.
