J083612.94+264813.6 - a triple?

  • JeanTate by JeanTate

    From page 5 of the Interesting things from NVSS survey thread, by Dolorous Edd:

    Having trouble to find a match for this thing (I think it is a triple ), core position according to VLA FIRST signal 08 36 12.94 +26 48 13.6, but nothing in SDSS ( except few galaxies ( >=0.207" from the source, but VLA signal not on top any of them )

    And apparently there is no WISE source ( or very weak)

    I think there is indeed a triple, with a FIRST source as host (z_sp 0.088 SDSS J083607.81+264843.4, small SDSS image below), and two NVSS lobes (one of which also contains a FIRST source). However, complicating things, there's a - quite unrelated? - compact source, which shows up in both FIRST and NVSS:

    Even more intriguing: at the apparent center of the E NVSS lobe is z_ph 0.29 SDSS J083623.98+264810.8 ; perhaps it's actually the host of this 'lobe'?

    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 (J2000.0) is (129.054, 26.804).

    Interesting, but far from conclusive, eh?

    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 (J2000.0) is the galaxy SDSS J083623.98+264810.8 ; 'z_ph' its SDSS photometric redshift.
