overedge double or triple?

  • WizardHowl by WizardHowl

    The central radio emission could be associated with the weaker radio source below, which would make it one lobe of an (expected) overedge triple, however it seems angled wrong, as if it is instead one lobe of an overedge double with the other lobe off the right hand side of the field of view. It might also be radio emission from a galaxy too faint to appear in the IR survey, however the lack of a direct IR counterpart in combination with its geometry is more suggestive of a plume. Does NVSS reveal another lobe overedge?
