ARG0000auv - green spiral the host?

  • JeanTate by JeanTate

    SDSS J081300.05+555239.7 is the disk galaxy with a 'green arm'; no SDSS spectrum, but its z_ph is 0.107 ± 0.0367/0.150 ± 0.0800:

    Actually, it's more likely the host is the strange other galaxy, SDSS J081300.95+555235.1, which has a z_sp of 0.275, and a somewhat odd spectrum (more reddened than red):

    Note: as zutopian says, ARG0000auq and ARG0000aut are the same radio source/complex as ARG0000auv.

    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 is the galaxy SDSS J081300.05+555239.7, near the ARG image (ARG0000auv; J2000.0). "z_ph" is an SDSS photometric redshift of the galaxy in the center.
