ARG0001xvf - faint NVSS triple?

  • JeanTate by JeanTate

    SDSS J142042.91+262503.2, with a z_sp of 0.038, has an obviously AGN (nuclear) spectrum. And the nucleus appears abnormally bright and point-like:

    That it's a barred spiral, albeit a rather 'dead and red' one, is obvious.

    The nucleus is a bright radio source; question is, does it also have faint doublelobes, visible in NVSS?

    The two other (bright) FIRST/NVSS sources seem unrelated ...

    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 J142042.91+262503.2; "z_sp" its SDSS spectroscopic redshift.
