ARG0000srv, host, morphology?

  • ChrisMolloy by ChrisMolloy

    Here's ARG0000srv, which could be either an #asymmetric #hourglass as per the ARG comments left, or a #one-sided lobe. There doesn't appear to be a counterpart lobe.

    thread.
    First in red, Wise band 1 lime green.

    There is a very faint ir source in Wise Band 1 positioned in the centre of the First lobe. In conjunction with this there is a radio reference in NED at almost the same location, for SDSS J081632.06+461655.0. This galaxy has a SDSS DR9 z_ph=0.5417 +/- -1000. However, there isn't any SIMBAD nor ALLWISE references at this position.

    Whether SDSS J081632.06+461655.0 is the host of this emission is hard to determine. The host could also be from a faint distant source.

    As always, comments, suggestions, welcome.
