Lester Leaps In; before clicking on any of the links, my first impression is;
The center of the galaxy has something energetic at its core. It is making equal and opposite jets ; the core is rotating ! ; as the jets exit, they don't rotate as the core is rotating, they go straight out, but because the core is rotating the jets appear to change course and wiggle around as they move beyond the perimeter of the galaxy; as well as spiraling in to the center of the galaxy from the perimeter.
Now the gravitationally interacting satellite galaxy, could be affecting the jets when they are beyond their galactic perimeter, and adding to their swoon.
Whatever is in the core is most powerful in its jets.
Halton Arp found a good one here !
My thoughts run to, the magnetics are weak and the energy is leaking out; or maybe the magnetics are so strong the bursting pressure is high before the jets can break thru. Like a firecracker with torn paper, the pop is muted. The magnetic bottle is so good , the pressure is really high before containment breech, and thus the jets are the most powerful ever seen ?
The orbiting galaxy, an elliptical it looks to be; if we could only know its mass !! we'd postulate a lot about the barred spirals interior forces.
===
Does this galaxy have a Red Shift z>3 ?
There may be a supermassive gravity-well anomaly that induces apparent red-shift, eventho the recessional velocity is low or moderate.
M87 is mainstream-thought to be 50 million LY away. So this system at 42 million LY is equivalent in some way. Tho, methods of distance determination are matters of splitting wavelengths.
If the elliptical was M87's size, that would be a Hoot !!
