We present multi-frequency ( 1–8 GHz ) VLA data , combined with VIMOS IFU data and HST imaging , of a z = 0.085 radio-quiet type 2 quasar ( with L _ { { 1.4 GHz } } \approx 5 \times 10 ^ { 23 } W Hz ^ { -1 } and L _ { { AGN } } \approx 2 \times 10 ^ { 45 } erg s ^ { -1 } ) .
Due to the morphology of its emission-line region , the target ( J1430+1339 ) has been referred to as the Teacup AGN in the literature .
We identify “ bubbles ” of radio emission that are extended \approx 10–12 kpc to both the east and west of the nucleus .
The edge of the brighter eastern bubble is co-spatial with an arc of luminous ionized gas .
We also show that the Teacup AGN hosts a compact radio structure , located \approx 0.8 kpc from the core position , at the base of the eastern bubble .
This radio structure is co-spatial with an ionized outflow with an observed velocity of v = -740 km s ^ { -1 } .
This is likely to correspond to a jet , or possibly a quasar wind , interacting with the interstellar medium at this position .
The large-scale radio bubbles appear to be inflated by the central AGN , which indicates that the AGN can also interact with the gas on \gtrsim 10 kpc scales .
Our study highlights that even when a quasar is formally “ radio-quiet ” the radio emission can be extremely effective for observing the effects of AGN feedback .
