VSOP Survey Program observation of J0609-1542

J0609-1542

The data on this page are described in detail in
The VSOP 5 GHz AGN Survey: III. Imaging results for the first 102 sources
by Scott et al. in Astrophysical Journal Supplement, 155, 33-72 (November 2004) .
Please refer to this paper for details of the observations, analysis and interpretation.

The observation of J0609-1542 (0607-157) was made on 04-04-1998 (dd-mm-yyyy)
with HALCA and 5 ground radio-telescopes over a duration of 4:30 (hours:minutes).
Baselines to HALCA were not necessarily available for all of that time.
The survey code for this source is vs02a.
The observation was correlated at the Penticton correlator.
The source is classified as a quasar at a redshift of 0.324.
Please refer to the paper for full details and references.

Specific notes in the above paper for this source are:
The core, as seen in the VLBApls (Fomalont et al. 2000, ApJSupp, 131,
95) image, is now clearly resolved out into two distinct components.
Emission in the core region, as seen in the VSOP image as well as
higher frequency USNO ground images, is mostly in an easterly
direction. Lower resolution images show the jet taking a more
northeasterly tack farther from the core. The area subtended by the
core is < 0.05 mas^2.
