ARG00022jc, IC 2465
-
by JeanTate
From the Interesting things from NVSS survey thread, started by Dolorous Edd (page 2):
The source is probably : IC 2465
Is that a line of diffuse emission? curious trajectory if so.
ARG00022jc is the FIRST source at/near the location of the nucleus of IC 2465.
One-sided jet/lobe? Maybe zoom out some?
Whatever IC 2465 is, it is NOT a boring elliptical! 😃

The above contour overlay only covered a small part of the giant structure Dolorous Edd may have found. Here's a zoomed out one, still not covering it all:
It does look rather like a restarted, somewhat asymmetric, set of lobes, doesn't it? Especially as the local maximum of the NVSS 'close-in' N lobe is also a FIRST source, and its irregular structure would seem to suggest it's a lobe, not the core of some very distant host (invisible in SDSS).
Amazingly, I had not had this in my database of SDRAGN ('spiral double radio AGN') candidates! 😮
I wonder if the long, bendy diffuse structure would show up in an even more zoomed out image? Perhaps one from a different survey? Stay tuned! 😃
