ARG0003f5p - close-in triple; far-out doublelobe

  • JeanTate by JeanTate

    From this post in the Interesting things from NVSS survey ( Yes! I have finally renamed this thread!) thread started by Dolorous Edd:

    NVSS 0.29 degree - 2MASX J15280499+0544278 - J152804.95+054428.2

    The center looks like a triple on the FIRST image

    enter image description here

    I think it's ARG0003f5p:

    Yes, #triple in the center, with two big lobes, the E one of which has a FIRST source at its center. The host is z_sp 0.041 SDSS J152804.95+054428.1 (dusty, not quite red and dead spectrum):

    Two NED refs, Sánchez Almeida+ 2011 and Huertas-Company+ 2011. Is the host a not boring elliptical?

    Boilerplate: SDSS image per http://skyservice.pha.jhu.edu/DR10/ImgCutout/getjpeg.aspx, FIRST (red) and NVSS (cyan) contours derived from FITS file produced using SkyView with Python code described in this RGZ Talk thread. Image center per the ARG image (ARG0003f5p; J2000.0) ... yes, it's RA 232.021, despite what it says on the image (there was a coordinate bug in the code, since fixed).

    Same overlay image, with redshift of host (in center) added; per ivywong's suggestion (here):

Image center per the ARG image (left; J2000.0). "z_sp" is the SDSS spectroscopic redshift of the galaxy in the center.
