ARG0002o5i - doublelobe with 'not a boring elliptical' as host?

  • JeanTate by JeanTate

    SDSS J105811.82+150027.9, z_ph 0.373±0.0628/0.301±0.1394, is distant, and looks not quite like a boring elliptical:

    It's almost certainly the host however:

    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 J105811.82+150027.9; "z_ph" its SDSS photometric redshift.

    I think deeper observations are required to verify that this is not an ETG. Given the z of this object and the depth of SDSS, it's hard to say that it's not an ETG with a high significance.
