  We combine new data from the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array with previous
radio observations to create a more complete picture of the ongoing
interactions between the radio jet from galaxy NGC 541 and the star-forming
system known as Minkowski's Object (MO). We then compare those observations
with synthetic radio data generated from a new set of magnetohydrodynamic
simulations of a jet-cloud interaction specifically tailored to the parameters
of MO. The combination of radio intensity, polarization, and spectral index
measurements all convincingly support the interaction scenario and provide
additional constraints on the local dynamical state of the intracluster medium
and the time since the jet-cloud interaction first began. In particular, we
show that only a simulation with a bent radio jet can reproduce the
observations.
