Young Extragalactic Radio Sources
Gigahertz Peaked Spectrum (GPS) sources and Compact Symmetric Objects (CSO) are selected in very different ways, but have a significant overlap in properties. Ever since their discovery it has been speculated that they are young objects, but only recently, strong evidence has been provided indicating that GPS sources and CSOs are indeed the young counterparts of large, extended sources. They ar...
متن کاملPolarization Properties of Extragalactic Radio Sources and Their Contribution to Microwave Polarization Fluctuations
We investigate the statistical properties of the polarized emission of extragalactic radio sources and estimate their contribution to the power spectrum of polarization fluctuations in the microwave region. The basic ingredients of our analysis are the NVSS polarization data, the multifrequency study of polarization properties of the B3-VLA sample (Mack et al. 2002) which has allowed us to quan...
متن کاملPolarization fluctuations due to extragalactic sources
We have derived the relationship between polarization and intensity fluctuations due to point sources. In the case of a Poisson distribution of a population with uniform evolution properties and constant polarization degree, polarization fluctuations are simply equal to intensity fluctuations times the average polarization degree. Conservative estimates of the polarization degree of the classes...
متن کاملDetermination of optical positions for 23 extragalactic radio sources
AB S TRACT The optical counterparts of 23 extragalactic radio sources, of which 13 are in the southern hemisphere, have been observed by three telescopes equipped with CCDs. By reference to the Astrographic/Tycho (ACT) Reference, Carlsberg Meridian (CMC), Positions and Proper Motions (PPM), Hipparcos (HIP) and Lick Northern Proper Motion (NPM) catalogues, the positions of the 23 objects have be...
متن کاملKinematics of Extragalactic Radio Sources A Model for Symmetric Jets
Symmetric extragalactic radio sources exhibit a baffling array of features that are very poorly understood. What is the origin of the remarkable symmetry between the two lobes? Why is the emission in the radio frequency (RF) range? Why are the jets so well collimated, implying long term memory of the core? Why do the core regions emit blue and ultraviolet light? What is the origin of transient ...
