ARG000244x - extended radio emission; host a spiral?

  • JeanTate by JeanTate

    The nucleus of z_sp 0.118 SDSS J155343.59+234825.4 obviously hosts an AGN, and the stellar population is dominated by 'dead and red' stars:

    But is the galaxy dominated by a (disturbed) disk, is it an Sa (pec), morphologically speaking?

    Radio-wise, there is strong nuclear emission, and a very nice jet/lobe; is the emission on the N side also a (detached) lobe?

    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 J155343.59+234825.4; "z_sp" its SDSS spectroscopic redshift.
