ARG00011tc field: apparent host has weird spiral shape?

• by JeanTate

  The host seems to be zsp 0.179 SDSS J073849.51+415907.4, which - to me - seems to have odd-looking red spiral(-ish) arms:

  

  What do you think?

  Possibly yes for the spiral arm, or a #red-outflow. Even wondered about a faint #polar-ring or #merger, #tidal-interaction, with
  SDSS J073849.89+415921.8. PanSTARRS and DeCALS not much help. Do you want an overlay?

  Thanks Chris! 😃

  Do you want an overlay?

  Yes ... but low priority (lots of other weird things more in need, I feel).
