ARG0003193, triple, host QSO?

  • ChrisMolloy by ChrisMolloy

    Here's ARG0003193, which appears to be a #bent #triple. The contour overlay below is centred on SDSS J152307.69+103152.1, as there is no photometric object listed in SDSS at the co-ordinates given left.

    The contour overlay image in this post was created from sources, and using methods, described in this RGZ Talk
    thread.     First in red.

    A possible host for the emission could be SDSS J152307.69+103152.1, which has a z_ph=0.177 ± 0.0748. This object has a radio reference in NED, and appears #green.

    However, there is the possibility that SDSS J152307.55+103154.7 is also the host of this #triple. This object has a radio reference in NED, and recorded First flux emission in SDSS. This object is listed as a star, although NED does list a redshift of z_ph=1.325000, and also mentions it as being a candidate #QSO. This object appears to be slightly #green also.

    Finally there is an ALLWISE reference, which is positioned between both the above mentioned candidates, ALLWISE J152307.59+103153.6.

    As always, comments, suggestions, welcome.
