ARG0003567 - non-ETG host of extended radio emission?

  • JeanTate by JeanTate

    With a z_ph of 0.628±0.0798/0.642±0.1387, SDSS J012723.17+091431.9 is a loooong way away; yet it doesn't look like a giant elliptical (assuming the photometric redshift is ~OK). Or maybe the SDSS image is simply nois:

    But how much of the FIRST 'emission' is real, and how much artifact?

    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 J012723.17+091431.9; "z_ph" its SDSS photometric redshift.
