ARG0002esi - rather unusual host

  • JeanTate by JeanTate

    SDSS J080601.51+190614.7, z_sp 0.098, has a pretty 'dead and red' spectrum ... apart from the obvious AGN features:

    It's also not really your common, garden variety boring elliptical (is that a double nucleus, perchance?):

    Anyway, it's pretty obviously the host of strong radio emissions (core? yes; at least one lobe? yes; asymmetric? yes; what else?):

    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 J080601.51+190614.7; "z_sp" its SDSS spectroscopic redshift.
