ARG00023wq - triple with an Eos host (and an AGN at its heart)
-
by JeanTate
SDSS J120301.43+235319.9 is a z_sp 0.176 Eos (edge-on spiral) with a heavily reddened, broadline AGN:
It's also the host of an unambiguous doublelobe, making it a very cool triple:

, 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 J120301.43+235319.9, in the NE quadrant of the ARG image (ARG00023wq; J2000.0). "z_sp" is an SDSS spectroscopic redshift of the galaxy in the center.Posted
