Centaurus A Extreme Deep Field - 130 hours
Read MoreFirst Optical Detection of the Southern Jet in Centaurus A (2013)
Subsequently confirmed by images from CFHT, I noticed this little red blob back in 2013 in my ultra-deep Centaurus A image. At the time I could only speculate that it might be part of the Southern jet, and noted: "A corresponding faint trace of nebulosity, likely related to the otherwise invisible Southern jet, is also noticeable as a small red smudge on the opposite side of the galaxy core, in the 10 o'clock position about halfway between the core and the upper left corner". The original image and description is here: https://www.rolfolsenastrophotography.com/Astrophotography/Centaurus-A-Extreme-Deep-Field/i-mNgSprP The image here is a crop of the 2013 detection and also my 2014 collaboration with NASA where Chandra and Spitzer data was added by Joseph de Pasquale - interestingly there seems to be some IR dots in the blob itself (red in the NASA image)
