ARG0002y6c - extended emission from disk-like galaxy

  • JeanTate by JeanTate

    Extended emission, albeit faint, in both FIRST and NVSS, does seem to be real:

    The host, SDSS J080217.94+112535.0, does look rather unlike an elliptical, and the SDSS automated spectroscopic pipeline classifies its spectrum as STARBURST; it's certainly rather reddened (dusty):

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