ARG0001n55 - Striking doublelobes; is red Eos SDSS J094103.62+312618.7 the host?

• by JeanTate

  SDSS J094103.62+312618.7, with z_ph 0.258±0.0515/0.248±0.0539, is too far 'out of round' to be a classical elliptical galaxy (well, maybe if it were a dwarf elliptical; but it's not):

  

  But is it the host of the striking doublelobes?

  

  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 (J2000.0) is the galaxy SDSS J094103.62+312618.7; "z_ph" its SDSS photometric redshift.

  Oops! 😦

  On the bright side, having two separate ARG IDs, and me not recognizing that fact, allows a comparison of ratings, others' comments, etc ...
