Good target for studying how the neighborhood affects jets and lobes?

  • JeanTate by JeanTate

    The odd morphology of the lobes may be due to a combo of host motion wrt the IGM and the fact that one jet (the SE one) may have had to go through at least part of a neighboring galaxy's ISM (or maybe it's the other way round; the SE galaxy is the host and the NE jet is the one that had a tough time?).

    Zsp 0.160 SDSS J233331.02+092534.8 may the host, despite its spectrum having no hint of an AGN:

    But maybe the bigger-looking neighbor, SDSS J233331.31+092533.1, is the host (it has no SDSS spectrum)?

    Of course, we're seeing these galaxies in projection, so we don't know what their physical separation actually is ...

    Here's an overlay. Any chance this is a #hybrid? Both possible hosts above have ALLWISE references also.

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

    I don't think so, more like a wat

    I agree, there isn't a clear hot spot on one side.. so this is likely a #wat
