They have a projected separation of around 1.5 kpc indicating the merger resulted J1000+1242 having two active galactic nuclei (AGN) or from both sides of its narrow-line region concealed by a torus of gas and warm dust, or a circumnuclear ring.

[4] A bright emission line region is also found northeast of the nucleus of J1000+1242, with an irregular morphology indicating an outflowing bi-polar superbubble.

[6] There is a presence of a deflected radio jet producing diffused lobes in both southeast and northwest directions.

[8] In both around and inside its radio lobes measuring ~ 10 kpc, J1000+1242 has five filamentary molecular gas structures.

They seem to wrap around the radio lobes, which ~ 9 percent of the total molecular gas mass is found enclosed within these structures.
