PKS1934-63
VLBI images of PKS 1934-638 at 2.3, 4.8 and 8.4 GHz (from Tzioumis et al. 1997). The top-right image is at a higher resolution because it includes Hartebeesthoek data. The other three images have approximately the same resolution of about 5 mas.

Gemini/GMOS-S: median filtered image
Notes
This compact NLRG/GPS source is hosted in a double and highly disturbed system. The Gemini GMOS-S optical imaging shows two bright nuclei separated by ∼9 kpc, embedded in a common and irregular envelope. Two tidal tails extending towards the SW from the radio galaxy and to the north from its companion are detected with surface brightnesses of 23.1 and 23.4 mag arcsec^−2 , respectively. All the previous features were also detected by Heckman et al. (1986) with the same μ_V values. They observed the radio galaxy and companion in both B and V bands, reporting an integrated colour of B − V = 1.25, which is ∼0.3 mag bluer than the normal colour of elliptical galaxy at z = 0.2 (Fukugita et al. 1995). Although much of the blue light excess in this source is likely to be due to AGN-related continuum components such as scattered light and nebular continuum (see object-specific discussion in Tadhunter, Shaw & Morganti 1994; Tadhunter et al. 2002), evidence for on-going star formation activity in this source is provided by the detection of PAH emission features at MIR wavelengths by Dicken et al. (2011). Note that the optical tidal features described by Ramos Almeida et al. (2011a) are also reported in the K-band imaging study of Inskip et al. (2010), indicating their continuum-emitting nature. Our long-slit spectra also confirm that the companion galaxy and its associated tidal tail are dominated by continuum emission.
As discussed in Tadhunter et al. (1994), this GPS radio galaxy is significantly polarized in the UV with the polarization E-vector close to perpendicular to the radio axis. No broad permitted lines are detected in our optical spectra. It is likely that scattered AGN light makes a significant contribution to the UV excess in this source.
In K-band near infrared image modeling, along with faint tidal features, our model residuals also show a third faint object lying just to the south of the interacting companion galaxy.
Details of the kinematics and ionization 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.
PKS1934-63
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.
