On the apparent superluminal separation of radio source components
Description
It is shown that the differential bending of radio waves by an intervening galaxy, or by any other clumpy material en route, can give rise to an apparent superluminal separation of the components of a radio source. The merits and demerits of this idea are briefly discussed. (author)
