We present MERLIN, global VLBI and VLBA observations of the high-luminosity, compact steep-spectrum quasar B1524-136 at cm wavelengths. These observations reveal well-defined radio jets on both sides of the active nucleus, a situation which is almost unique amongst high-luminosity radio quasars. However, the radio jets on opposite sides are very dissimilar, and the overall radio structure appears highly distorted. We discuss possible implications of these observations.
B1524-136: A CSS quasar with two-sided radio jets
2002
Abstract
We present MERLIN, global VLBI and VLBA observations of the high-luminosity, compact steep-spectrum quasar B1524-136 at cm wavelengths. These observations reveal well-defined radio jets on both sides of the active nucleus, a situation which is almost unique amongst high-luminosity radio quasars. However, the radio jets on opposite sides are very dissimilar, and the overall radio structure appears highly distorted. We discuss possible implications of these observations.File in questo prodotto:
