Positional offset?

  • JeanTate by JeanTate

    The fainter radio source seems offset from its (possible) IR counterpart; the brighter one definitely offset. And the offsets are in the same direction, if not of the same size.

    Is this likely due to misalignment? Or is there truly a bright IR source (looks like a PSF) separated by ~2" (I'm guessing - wildly - at the scale) from a bright, compact (radio equivalent of a PSF?) source?

    It's a big universe. I see no reason this couldn't happen.
