1637+2140 - triple?

by JeanTate
From the Interesting things from NVSS survey thread, started by Dolorous Edd (first post):
Triple, I think , center ~ 16 36 57.17 +21 40 17.3 SDSS J163657.18+214016.9 or J163657.20+214009.2
The southern NVSS and FIRST blob looks very much like a lobe, and there may be a faint FIRST source in the center.
But what's the northern blob? An unrelated doublelobe? Or the core+lobe counterpart of the southern blob? Maybe zoom out some, and center on the FIRST source in the northern blob?

First, the central object - possible host of the triple - is z_ph 0.196±0.0121/0.199±0.0331 SDSS J163657.18+214016.9:
It is a faint FIRST source:
The S component of the N lobe appears to have a compact FIRST source at - or near - its center; there's an ETG there, 0.187±0.0088/0.182±0.0298 SDSS J163701.58+214256.3:
This may create this weaker component of the N lobe of the triple, making it appear as though it's a doublelobe:

Top image center (J2000.0) is the galaxy SDSS J163657.18+214016.9; 'z_ph' its 'SDSS' photometric redshift; bottom image center (J2000.0) is the galaxy SDSS J163701.58+214256.3; 'z_ph' its 'SDSS' photometric redshift.Posted
