Is this a single object?

In this case, with three contours but only a single IR source in the middle, should we be marking them as a single oblect? Thanks.

Yes, when marking the IR source, we are asking you to help us find the host galaxy from which the jets originate so you need to mark the IR source in the middle. You see 3 radio blobs/components because of the central emission is coming from the galaxy itself and the 2 radio jets are offset to each side of the galaxy. So yes, this is a single radio galaxy.

You will see #triple as the hashtag classification for this kind of radio source. You don't have to use hashtags, but they are of some help.
Hope this helps, and happy hunting! 😃
