ARG0002cb6/SDSS J105407.97+201711.6 - what is the host?

  • JeanTate by JeanTate

    In the far E of ARG0002cb6 is an obvious #triple. The host seems to be SDSS J105407.97+201711.6; if so, it looks mighty strange! Overlap (with red thing, in background?)? merger? gravitational lens??

    Yes, this is likely to be the host. Given the redshift of this object, we are up against the limitations of the SDSS observations While I do not think that it's a gravitational lens, I cannot be sure from the image alone. 😦

    Thanks Ivy. I'll do an overlay later, and maybe ping some of the zooite GL experts ...

    The radio morphology is odd: nuclear source, plus a single NE lobe/hotspot and two SW ones!
