ARG0001xkb - host? radio morphology?

  • JeanTate by JeanTate

    It's kinda FRII, but the W lobe has two distinct hotspots, but the E lobe just one. If z_ph 0.253±0.0185/0.227±0.0394 SDSS J123825.59+263339.6 is the host, why does the W lobe point SW?

    Perhaps the host is the faint red SDSS blob, all but invisible in the WISE image, z_ph 0.445±0.1695/0.600±0.2747 SDSS J123825.58+263328.0?

    If so, why does the E lobe have an apparent, minor, hotspot well to the N?

    The image in this post was created from sources, and using methods, described in this RGZ Talk post. The object at the center of the image is SDSS J123825.59+263339.6.

    The host could be either of the 2 galaxies seen between the lobes....

    The host could even be the very faint object between the two brigher ones, right
    on the lowest contour of the E (left) lobe...
