ARG0002xeg - artifact?

  • JeanTate by JeanTate

    All the marked (contours) radio sources are in the diagonal 'artifact' line; are they merely locally bright parts of that line, or is there a real radio source (or three) lurking underneath? How to tell?

    The elongated smudge in the IR, which the top right Radio source overlays, looks like it might be an #edge_on spiral, if so the radios sources are aligned in about the right direction to be a jet from said spiral's central BH, on the other hand if so where is the matching jet the other side? Am now off to see if I can find out if a picture of this patch of sky is available in any other surveys.
