  Is this a genuine source or a compound to trick us? The ref number looks unusual. (sorry but after GZ3!) NED has it at z=0.1 and in SDSS and 2MASX and a radio source at 0.126 arcmin away in NVSS.

  Comments anyone?

  Looks like a genuine source - 2 galaxies in the process of merging. Both are at ~z=.107.

  I don't know whether this is a quenched galaxy or a galaxy from the control sample, but I do know that there is absolutely nothing in Galaxy Zoo designed to "trick" you. I'd agree this is a #merger.

  Merger for me too.

  Sorry, got a bit cynical after GZ3. Glad to know there are no i9nserted objects designed to test us!
