    This (Johnston et al., arxiv.org/abs/2404.04099) is already the 2nd paper on the partial MUSE data of #Malin1 (following Junais et al., aanda.org/articles/aa/full_htm).
    Fingers crossed that we'll finally get the remaining 3/4 now that we have shown how useful it is.

    The off-center source seems to be ionized mostly by star-formation (with a bit of shocks?), forming ~25x more stars than the nucleus. It could be a young star cluster to soon merge with the main nucleus.

    Evelyn Johnston led the paper on the discovery of an "off-center compact source" in the giant LSB galaxy Malin 1 based on the existing MUSE data, now accepted at A&A.
