Radio imaging of core-dominated high redshift quasars

Original · EN

VLA imaging at kiloparsec-scale resolution of sixteen core-dominated radio-loud QSOs is presented. Many objects appear to display variable radio emission and their radio morphologies are significantly smaller than those of steep-spectrum quasars, consistent with these objects being observed at sight lines close to their (relativistic, γ≈ 4-7) jet axes. The usefulness of the radio source orientation indicator Rᵥ, being defined as ratio of radio core and rest frame optical V-band luminosity, is confirmed.
