ARG0001gb7 bent doublelobe with faint compact or WAT emission with red outflows?

  • ChrisMolloy by ChrisMolloy

    Here's ARG0001gb7, what appears to be a #WAT or bent #doublelobe with a faint #compact lobe to the ESE.

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

    The host for the centre lobes appears to be SDSS J150319.58+344210.4, which has a z_sp=0.361 +/- 0.00013, and seems to have #red #outflows emanating from it.

    Below is an enlarged image of SDSS J150319.58+344210.4. There are radio references in NED and SIMBAD for this galaxy, and it is also listed as being part of a #cluster.

    With regards to what type of galaxy SDSS J150319.58+344210.4 is, whether a disk or elliptical, it has a fracDev_g, _r, of 1, 1, and an expAB_g of 0.771 and expAB_r of 0.728 respectively. For c, the inverse concentration index, it has a figure of 0.462 for the g band and 0.374 for the r band. Possibly more of an elliptical galaxy, with the exception of the inverse concentration index for the g band.

    Regarding the lobe to the ESE, and whether this is related to the main emission or not, this is more problematic. There appears to be a First reference in SIMBAD located at the position of this lobe. And there is an ALLWISE reference also, ALLWISE J150322.38+344152.1. But there doesn't appear to be any photometric host at this location in SDSS.
