A jet in the nucleus of the giant quasar 4C 74.26
Abstract
An image of the nucleus of the giant quasar 4C 74.26 made using very long baseline interferometry at a frequency of 5 GHz shows a one-sided, parsec-scale jet that is well aligned with the 400-kpc jet seen in VLA images. If the jet asymmetry is due to Doppler boosting, the axis of the source cannot lie close to the plane of the sky. The radio spectrum of the nucleus, measured with the VLA, has a peak at about 8 GHz.
