    Is this right? I see it as two unrelated loci. should I have mentioned the tiny one as well that is by the top rhs one but has no contours?

    I'm getting a problem opening this image. There is only the ir showing and a small stamp in the centre.

    This one is tough! Hard to say. My first instinct is to say that they are unrelated radio sources. However, upon further thought they may be coming from the bright IR source in between. I really don't know 😦 No I think you are right, they are separate unrelated radio sources.

    If there are no contours, then chances are it is not a real radio source. Just some noise or an aretfact.

    I beg to differ from my esteemed colleague! I reckon its a pair of lobes from the central source, because they are at very similar distance and similar fluxes, so the chances of it being two unrelated sources seem less to me than being two lobes from the central source. But we'd ned deeper data to be sure.
