Both images show an unresolved core (less then 40 pc diameter) and a diffuse halo (about 300 pc diameter). A loop (about 100 pc diameter) that is too bright to be a normal supernova remnant appears in the 6-cm image. The loop's spectral index indicates that the radio continuum emission is nonthermal. It is suggested that the loop might be a bubble of hot plasma rising from the nucleus or a magnetically dominated coronal arch.
