ARG0001weo/SDSS J154145.80+270549.3, just weird

• by JeanTate

  The central radio source: how to describe the radio emission? It's sorta #doublelobe, with a bit of #x-shaped or maybe #bent.

  The apparent host - z_ph 0.51 SDSS J154145.80+270549.3 - is weird too; #green?

  

  Comments anyone?

  Definitely a #doublelobe. Could be slightly #bent but likely to require further observations with higher angular resolution for confirmation of this. Digging through the archives, the radio emission is definitely from an AGN due to a flat spectral index (as opposed to a superposition of 2 star-forming galaxies). Deeper optical will also help with the ID of the host.
