ARG0001lw2, possible doublelobe, SDRAGN candidate?

  • ChrisMolloy by ChrisMolloy

    Here's ARG0001lw2, which is maybe a #doublelobe.

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

    Here's an Aladin image which shows the contour to the SE more clearly, NE of the central star,

    and here's the First image of the lobes.

    The host for the #doubleobe could be SDSS J155959.32+320037.5, which has a z_sp=0.055 +/- 0.00002, and is listed as a #spiral galaxy by DR13 (GZ1 morphology). Its spectrum classifies the galaxy as #starforming.

    SDSS J155959.32+320037.5

    There doesn't appear to be any radio references in NED or SIMBAD for this object, but there is an ALLWISE reference, ALLWISE J155959.30+320037.3. If this is the host of the emission, then this could be an #SDRAGN candidate.

    As always, suggestions, comments, welcome.

    Nice! 😃

    Hmm ... strange.

    Perhaps this is two unrelated #compact sources? The host of the SE source (if it's a compact) is surely lost in the glare of the bright star, in both SDSS and WISE, and there seems to be no host visible for the NW radio source, in either WISE or SDSS.

    Could be.
