ARG0002sq4, three separate compact lobes?

  • ChrisMolloy by ChrisMolloy

    Here's ARG0002sq4, which appears to possibly be three #compact lobes, two of them slightly extended. The contour overlay image below is centred slightly west of the co-ordinates listed in the ARG image left.

    thread.
    First in red.

    The #compact lobe centre appears to possibly be an #ifrs. There are no photometric objects listed in SDSS DR14 at its location, nor any apparent ALLWISE sources within the vicinity. However, there does appear to be Simbad and NED references for a radio host slightly to the west of this emission, SDSS J095250.47+130953.9, which is a faint galaxy with a z_ph=0.667 ± 0.0865.

    The lobe to the ESE appears to be centred on SDSS J095255.83+130916.7, which is listed as a star, and has a DR6 z_ph=0.494 +/-0.040. This object has recorded First flux emission in SDSS DR14, and an ALLWISE reference, ALLWISE J095255.85+130916.7.

    As for the emission to the SSE, there doesn't appear to be any object that this lobe is centred on, although there is an NVSS reference in NED for SDSS J095253.73+130852.0, which has a z_ph=0.192 ± 0.0419. This object is slightly ENE of the emission, and also has an ALLWISE reference, ALLWISE J095253.70+130852.4.
