  • ChrisMolloy by ChrisMolloy

    Here's ARG0001ra0, which appears to be a #bent, #doublelobe. The contour image below is positioned on SDSS J134337.68+292851.8 which is NE of the ARG co-ordinates listed left.

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

    There are a number of radio references in NED and SIMBAD for this emission. A possible host, as per the ARG comments left could be SDSS J134337.68+292851.8, which has a z_sp=0.270 +/-0.00004. This object has a radio reference in NED, and an ALLWISE reference ALLWISE J134337.67+292851.9. This galaxy also appears to be centred on a strong ir source, as in the ARG image left.

    Another possible host could be SDSS J134334.76+292828.0, which is a faint red galaxy with a z_ph=0.548 ± 0.0674. It has a radio reference in NED, and an ALLWISE reference, ALLWISE J134334.75+292827.9. This object again appears to be positioned on an ir source, as in the ARG image left.

    Finally, there is always the possibility that these emissions could be separate, with their own individual hosts.

    As always, comments, suggestions, welcome.
