Notes
This nearby BLRG has been extensively studied (Baldwin et al. 1980). Its optical spectrum is quasar like: broad Balmer and FeII lines/ blends and strong [O III] λλ5007, 4959 lines with a blue continuum. Its radio structure has prominent one-sided jet. The K-band near-IR residual flux image of this galaxy displays a narrow excess of flux along the major axis, which then extends into an s-shape to the NW and SE. Previous observations of this source (Sargent 1967; Baldwin et al. 1980; Garcia-Lorenzo et al. 2005) highlight the complexities of its light distribution, which seem to match our own observed model residuals, and suggest that it has been involved in merger activity in the relatively recent past.
