ARG00039dy, doublelobe

  • ChrisMolloy by ChrisMolloy

    Here's ARG00039dy, which appears to be a #doublelobe.

    The contour overlay image in this post was created from sources, and using methods, described in this RGZ Talk
    thread.     First in red, Wise band 1 lime green.

    A possible host for the emission could be SDSS J153447.12+074715.2, which has a z_ph=0.341 ± 0.1094. This object is on the NE edge of the western lobe, positioned almost in-between both lobes. This galaxy has a radio reference in NED, and is also slightly #green.

    There is also a radio reference in NED for SDSS J153447.08+074723.3. This object is slightly north of the First lobes, has a z_ph=0.243 ± 0.0381, and appears to have an ALLWISE reference, ALLWISE J153447.06+074724.2. This ALLWISE reference is positioned on the northern edge of the galaxy. It is hard to determine whether this object could be the host of the emission.

    Finally, it doesn't appear that this ARG field has been imaged in VLASS as yet.

    As always, comments, suggestions, welcome.

    I agree with your summary.

    It's a bit strange, I think, that the (very likely) host is so faint in WISE band 1.
