Radio Results

The most sensitive image of NVSS 2146+82 is derived from our BnC configuration data at 1.4 GHz which has a resolution of 13'' (FWHM). Figure 2 shows logarithmic contours of the total intensity in the region around the source in this image; the rms noise is 20 µJy per CLEAN beam area. A gray scale representation of the same image showing the filamentary structure of the lobes is given in Figure 3. Figure 4 shows the inner region of this image contoured to lower levels using an initially linear contour interval.
