Where's the correct IR source?

  • Drakolus by Drakolus

    So I'm pretty new to this. The two radio sources possibly look disassociated but I don't really see any "good" IR sources. I marked it as one IR source just to the right of the left hand radio source but now I'm not so sure? How would you go about marking this one?

    Welcome to RGZ, Drakolus!

    The "correct" IR source is the one, in your best judgement, that is associated with the radio source(s) that you marked! 😮

    Yes, it's that simple.

    Here's what I would do, for this field:

    • decide if I think these two radio sources are associated with the same host
    • (this is a somewhat tricky one; I'd probably go for "two unrelated radio sources", but others may not)
    • look at the IR background - move the slider over, make the radio go blank - and decide if there are any IR sources I think are associated with the radio one(s)
    • (for this, I think the E (left) radio source has an IR counterpart, but the W (right) one does not)
    • mark (click) accordingly.

    Hope this helps, and happy hunting! 😃
