Nuclear jets in the radio lobe spiral galaxy, NGC 3079
Journal Article

· Astrophys. J.; (United States)
The active, radio-lobe spiral galaxy NGC 3079 was observed, with the US VLBI network (plus Bonn), with successful detections on all baselines. The nucleus is found to consist of a binary source, along with a fainter, more extended component between the binary. The positions, sizes, and fluxes of each component are suggestive of jetlike outflow from a central compact object rather than of radio supernovae due to a starburst, and it is suggested that a nuclear jet is largely responsible for the kiloparsec scale outer radio lobes. 43 references.
