ARG00007fk - disturbed spiral with odd, extended, radio emission

  • JeanTate by JeanTate

    SDSS J145827.37+580737.2, at z_sp 0.285, is an unusual-looking galaxy, possibly a disturbed big-bulge/small disk one (it's certainly very big!):

    Is it the host of the radio emission (I think so)? And what sort of radio emission/morphology is it anyway (I have no idea)?

    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 J145827.37+580737.2; "z_sp" its SDSS photometric redshift.

    Is there radio emission further out? Probably not (or did I simply didn't zoom out far enough):
