    I agree with WH that this looks more like an artifact than something real (but I can't access NVSS to check); and what is causing them (if they are artifacts)?

    However, at least one of the #plume-like emissions may be real, perhaps the E one? If so, what is the host?

    It'd be very cool if it turned out to be z_ph 0.45 SDSS J144456.29+520333.1, because that looks rather like an Eos (so #SDRAGN candidate)!

    Or #green z_ph 0.32 SDSS J144455.82+520339.7:

    This field does look like it's quite corrupted by processing artefacts. The NVSS survey is unable to resolve structure so it's likely that follow-up obs are the only way to make sure. Thanks for digging into this y'all!

    ARG0000hfj is a field centered on the other source. It has its own thread, Radio echo?
