Notes
Contamination of images and spectra by a foreground star preclude detailed study of the optical continuum in this NLRG/CSS radio galaxy. The optical spectrum shows high-ionization emission lines (Tadhunter et al. 1993). Details of the ionization and kinematics of the emission line gas in this source are discussed in Holt et al. (2008, MNRAS, 387, 639) and Holt et al. (2009, MNRAS, 400, 589) respectively.
In deep optical images PKS 0252−71 appears to be surrounded by an amorphous halo which points towards a fainter companion galaxy at ∼33 kpc to the south, thus indicating a possible interaction between the galaxies (Ramos Almeida et al. 2011a, Fig. B43). The images confirm that the bright object ∼3 arcsec to the SE of the radio galaxy host is a star. Unfortunately, the relatively poor seeing of this image (FWHM = 1 arcsec) prevents a clear detection of other possible signs of disturbance.

PKS0252-71
Spectral energy distribution. The blue solid line is fitted to the data from 109 to 1010 Hz. Extrapolating this line from the radio to the infrared SED tests whether non-thermal synchrotron emission from the lobes can contaminate the Spitzer mid-infrared flux. In this case the lobes emission lies out of the Spitzer beam so cannot contaminate the Spitzer data. The weak, flat spectrum, non-thermal radio core emission is also not likely to contaminate the Spitzer infrared flux data for this object.
