ARG00011io - confusing radio emission?

  • JeanTate by JeanTate

    That z_sp 0.027 SDSS J133321.82+420844.7 has nuclear radio emission is clear. That it is not an elliptical is also clear (it's far too elongated; it's a highly inclined disk galaxy, possibly an edge-on one):

    But is there compelling evidence for extended - "diffuse" - radio emission?

    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 J133321.82+420844.7; "z_sp" its SDSS spectroscopic redshift.
