    Interestingly, there are radio references in NED for SDSS J153155.59+072202.5. This faint, possibly disk like galaxy, has a z_ph=0.196 ± 0.0696, and is NE of SDSS J153154.46+072152.7, in-between both lobes.

    Finally, there is a radio reference in SIMBAD for another object NE of SDSS J153154.46+072152.7. However, there doesn't appear to be any photometric object listed in SDSS DR14 for this possible radio source.

    As always, comments, suggestions, welcome.
