Hidden galaxy?

  • Ptd by Ptd

    Is that a red coloured galaxy lurking to the SW of Star SDSS J095612.24+215906.4 ?

    Hi @Ptd,

    I don't think that we have the ability to tell at this point. In fact, because we don't have a spectrum for the object that you highlighted, there is a possibility that it's not a star but a quasi-stellar object (QSO). In addition, there is the possibility that you're seeing 2 distant IFRS double sources.

    Does this help?
