1514-241

(OR -225, AP Libr{\ae})
BL Lac Object
z= 0.0486
V= 15.08

Notes (from the published papers): The N-type galaxy, classified as BL Lacertae object AP\,Libr{\ae} (also OR\,$-225$, PKS\,B1514-241) is a very close object with $z$=0.042 and an optical magnitude of $\sim15$. It displays high variability in the optical, reaching rates of 0.06$\pm$0.01\,mag\,hr$^{-1}$ (\citet{Carini91} and \citet{Bond71}, ). The HST images published by \citet{Scarpa00} show a bright point surrounded by a large, round elliptical host. It displays a pc-scale straight radio jet extending at least 20$^{\prime\prime}$ to the east of the core at P.A.\,88$^\circ$ (\citet{Morganti93}). \citet{Lister98} published 43\,GHz polarimetric images of this object, showing a jet towards the South with P.A.\,$-171^\circ$, within 1\,mas of the core, turning then 14$^\circ$ to P.A.\,157$^\circ$. The RORF maps show a jet towards the SE. Our map shows structure towards the SE, out to 5\,mas off the core.
