Tidal debris?

  • Ghost_Sheep_SWR by Ghost_Sheep_SWR

    Might the streak to the right be tidal debris from the central galaxy? The streak contains an object marked galaxy.

    Cant figure this one out, PhotoZ is very different from z of central galaxy. But if PhotoZ is right the streak / galaxy seems too big in comparison with its distance?

    Side note: PhotoZ from SDSS DR9 and DR12 are different, don't know why this is.
