    SDSS J161949.15+300608.2 - 1237661465990332703

    Don't think it is a lens, rather the result of interaction with? SDSS J161948.86+300607.8

    The host of radio emission seems to be

    SDSS J161948.86+300607.8 - 1237661465990332701

    Interesting SDSS J161950.80+300638.1 looks similiar to SDSS J161948.86+300607.8

    If this was a lens and that was the host, should there be radio emission from the other one?

    You mean could we see a radio emission from the lensed galaxy? Yes, such cases are possible

    Here's a First overlay. There's an ALLWISE reference for SDSS J161948.86+300607.8, ALLWISE J161948.88+300607.9, and one also for SDSS J161950.80+300638.1, ALLWISE J161950.78+300637.8.

    Here's SDSS J161949.15+300608.2 without the grid or contours:

    Without more/other observations, I'd say it's impossible to what's going on here ... except that it looks might interesting! 😃

    Anything from HSC, CHFT, DECaLS, ...? How about GALEX or an x-ray observatory? FERMI??

    DECaLS

    Nearly useless due to severe noise

    Have a look if you wish

    CHFT

    It is possible to dig up some images

    If the host is in fact the lensed galaxy, then there should be radio emission from the "twin". So maybe the radio emission is from the elliptical galaxy in the centre and happens to overlap with the lensed galaxy. Or the host is the red galaxy.

    Still interesting either way!
