MRC B1221–423 is a powerful, nearby (z = 0.17) compact radio source, which lies within the envelope of a galaxy which is undergoing a tidal interaction with a companion. Broad-band optical/NIR colours show evidence of several distinct episodes of star formation. The evidence points to this being a radio source “caught in the act” of its first ignition.To search for other articles by the author(s) go to: http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abstract_service.html
