May someone explain the interesting radio shape and how to describe the morphology?

  I thought this one was quite hard to classify.

  Ignoring the #1-contour #compact to the NW, this is a fairly normal #triple, with the host galaxy (in the middle) being a #core. Radio emission from the core may be a combination of emission from the AGN itself and some intense star-formation in/near the nucleus, though this host is far enough away that star-formation emission would likely be invisible.

  Hope this helps, and happy hunting! 😃
