    A FIRST overlay on an SDSS image clearly shows which object is the host! 😃

    The SDSS spectrum of the galaxy - a broadline AGN - shows why its color is red, but rather different than that of a giant elliptical with a similar redshift ... all those strong emission lines! 😮

    Boilerplate: SDSS image per http://skyservice.pha.jhu.edu/DR10/ImgCutout/getjpeg.aspx, FIRST (red) contours derived from the FITS file produced using SkyView with Python code described in this RGZ Talk thread. Image center per the galaxy, SDSS J084309.85+294404.6, close to ARG image (left; J2000.0). "z_sp" is the SDSS spectroscopic redshift of the galaxy in the center.
