  • JeanTate by JeanTate

    SDSS J113129.26+162341.8 is a z_ph 0.068 ± 0.0208/0.076 ± 0.0321 inclined spiral; SDSS J113129.12+162336.3 is a z_sp 0.172 'dead and red' (3" dia centre, spectroscopically speaking) galaxy just to its S.

    Which is the host of the plume?

    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 J113129.12+162336.3, near the center of the ARG image (ARG0002kvu; J2000.0). "z_sp" is an SDSS spectroscopic redshift of the galaxy in the center.
