VLA A–configuration image at 1.5 GHz (blue and contours) of the central radio source in A496, overlaid on the optical HST WFPC2 image of the central galaxy (orange). The restoring beam of the radio image is 2″ × 1″, at a position angle (PA) of 17° (boxed white ellipse in the bottom left corner) and the noise level is 1σ = 50 μJy beam⁻¹. Contours are spaced by a factor of 2 starting from +3σ.
