Couple of years back (even before Hubble) this object and photos of it were carefully analysed by others and no traces of "links" between the galaxy and quasar were found.
The images that Arp and al were using to prove their ideas actually proved to be overprocessed, and the conclusion was drawn on basically falsified data.
