Left, Paα map from Marconi et al. (2000) as in Fig. 3; right, gray‐scale radio map of Hardcastle et al. (2003). Contours represent a stack of N‐band data from all three nights (2004 March 6, 11, and 12) retrieved from the GSA archive and are logarithmic with a factor of 1.79 between them. The lowest contours represent 2 σ above the smoothed background (0.0034 mJy pixel−1). The mid‐IR source RPL 1 is detected coincident with the approximate radio jet ﹩\mathrm{P.A.}\,=53^{\circ }﹩ (dotted line).
