Huge IR Source

    I don't think this huge IR source is a galaxy, and couldn't mark the source of jets. Help me!

    Welcome to RGZ, 06r2d206!

    The huge IR source is a bright star, and as you say, not the source of the radio emission.

    In this field, I think there are two separate, unrelated, radio sources, both #compact.

    The one in the center is associated with a galaxy that's not visible in SDSS:

    The one near the bottom-left is associated with SDSS J134302.38+444526.3:

    However, I think it's also possible that these two radio sources are related, and are #doublelobe associated with SDSS J134259.80+444609.5, a spiral galaxy ... that would make is an #SDRAGN candidate!! 😮

    Hope this helps, and happy hunting! 😃
