ARG000051s - strange NAT/plume from a non-elliptical host?

• by JeanTate

  SDSS J112932.83+595518.3, with z_ph 0.137±0.0385/0.139±0.0479, seems to be the host of the FIRST radio emission in the center (the fainter FIRST source is an unrelated object, with a different host):

  

  How to describe this radio emission? What morphological category does it belong to?

  

  Whatever this galaxy is, morphologically it's unlikely to be an elliptical, right?

  The image in this post was created from sources, and using methods, described in this RGZ Talk post. The object at the center of the image is SDSS J112932.83+595518.3.

  It could be or it could be a WAT-like object perhaps from the red compact galaxy between the 2 main radio lobe in the subject?
