MRC B1221-423: a compact steep-spectrum radio source in a merging galaxy

We present BVRIK images and spectroscopic observations of the z = 0.17 host galaxy of the compact steep-spectrum (CSS) radio source MRC B1221 -423. This is a young (∼10 5 yr) radio source with double lobes lying well within the visible galaxy. The host galaxy is undergoing tidal interaction with a n...
