Blazars can have double radio sources

  • 1. National Radio Astronomy Observatory, Charlottesville, VA (USA)

Description

The authors report three clear double radio sources (two being quite symmetrical) around the strong central point sources, including one classical double. A fourth blazar has head-tail morphology. It may be possible to reconcile these observations with the model cited above if one imagines that the jets do not lie precisely along the line of sight, or that the lobes are misaligned with the jets.
