ARG0002g5w unusual field

  • ChrisMolloy by ChrisMolloy

    Here's ARG0002g5w, a rather complex radio field. There's not a lot to work with in this image, as many of the photometric objects appear to be outside of the SDSS footprint.

    The contour overlay image in this post was created from sources, and using methods, described in this RGZ Talk
    thread.

    The host of the lobe in the centre is SDSS J113039.83+182637.0. This appears to be a #disk or #spiral galaxy, which has a z_sp=0.042 +/-0.00001. It is noted as being in a #group or #cluster of galaxies, in both NED, and SIMBAD.

    There are #diffuse lobes to the ESE and NW of SDSS J113039.83+182637.0. To the WNW are two lobes which could be an #hourglass in and of themselves, or either of these lobes could be connected to the centre emission.

    First image below.

    As per the classification comments left, there could be a #triple with the lobes stretching from ESE to WNW. Having said that though, other classifications could include a #compact centre, #hourglass to the WNW, and #artifact to the NW and ESE. Any suggestions appreciated.
