ARG0003ev9: bent triple? Three separate sources? Something else?

I can't think of a possible set of hosts/morphologies that would be normal (other than the strongest source being a #compact).
My choice is that there is just one host, zsp 0.430 QSO SDSS J080842.90+055043.7, with #restarted #asymmetric #bent #lobes. What do you think?

I'll add it to the overlay list.

To me, this looks like three separate sources.

That's certainly a tempting interpretation. And the NE radio source could be a #hybrid #triple, or a #NAT, with host STAR SDSS J080844.42+055107.8 (an unrecognized QSO). Or one of its neighbors (all STARs):
However, the S/SE radio source would then be a mystery: no obvious hosts, and how come so strong?

Just thinking about this one. This may be a case of chance alignment - just based on what you have said about the host galaxies. the compact part of the southern one without a host may just be overlaid on the diffuse emission from the other part that corresponds to another galaxy.

Here's the overlay. Don't know if this helps.
