Triple?

  • Cardiffian by Cardiffian

    Is this a triple? Still not sure how to identify them.

    Yes, I think this does look like a triple since you can see 3 clear radio components..

    As sisifolibre and Dolorous_Edd note, the host (zsp 0.675 SDSS J152806.63+132345.9) is weird (it's the white blob):

    enter image description here

    It seems to be in a rich cluster, near the center*, which would make the red blob quite strange ... if it's real

    What an interesting find, Cardiffian! 😃

    *none of the other objects nearby have SDSS spectra, and while their zph's are all over the place, most are consistent with 0.68

    This object is also discussed in this RGZ Talk thread.
