Image:
The host galaxy is in a moderately rich cluster
(McCarthy, Spinrad & van Breugel 1995).
The HST image (de Koff et al 1996) suggests
a dust lane, and there are tails to the NE and SW (all within the central
3 arcsec). McCarthy et al. found a region of emission-line gas, unassociated
with any galaxy, about 40 arcsec (130 kpc) from the nucleus,
on the southern edge of the SE lobe. This is a candidate case of
jet-induced star formation.
Although not very clear with our logarithmic LUT, there is a weak
but compact hotspot at the tip of the NW lobe.
