A double source - the new NICMOS image shows only the southern, which is the stronger of the two in the radio [Rawlings et al.1991]. A larger companion elliptical sits 25 arcsec (43 kpc) to the north. A dust disk bisects the nucleus of the small elliptical host galaxy, giving the appearance of a disk. 3 very faint small companion sources are visible within, or close to the main galaxy halo. Unusually the radio axis is aligned close to the axis of the disk.
