Possible Voorwerp?

• by CeciliaB

  I just found this galaxy in GZ 3D. It's an AGN with blue patches on either side of the center.

  SDSS Obj.ID 1237664291548823600 RA 208.111052921 Dec 14.490977290 I'll try to send a link.

  Light blue is starforming, dark blue is voorwerp colour. Interesting though, NED title suggest a binary nucleus.

  Thanks. I agree that the colour isn't right for a voorwerp, but the way the two well defined clouds are placed opposite each other made me suspect (hope) that something unusual was going on. So it must be chance alignment then.

  Well, it might b e something quite exciting, with bars sticking out from a double nucleus, just not a voorwerp

  Need more research on these blobs and on the arc over the bulge prominent in decals residuals:
