RA	Dec	z
00h11m25.6s	+52d31m41s	0.104

Summary

Here is a brief summary of the merger. Things like is there a gas shock, what is the radio relic polarization, is there an estimate on the merger dynamics properties (e.g. time-since-collision, collision velocity, angle of merger axis with respect to the plane of the sky, etc.), types of analyses (e.g. polarization, lensing, redshift, simulations, etc.).
