    zsp 0.004 SDSS J112644.31+590919.5 is, I think, a late-stage merger, with a lot of star-formation still under-way. The nucleus is radio-bright (or strong?).

    There's also a z ~0.35 galaxy cluster in the background; here are some members:

    One background cluster galaxy is, I think (a contour overlay would confirm), the host of the teardrop-shaped radio emission to the S; it's not an SDSS photometric object:

    I don't think so; rather, it's star-formation regions tracing the disk of one of the merging galaxies.

    Very cool! 😄
