Extract

While Centaurus A (NGC 5128) is not a particularly powerful radio galaxy, its proximity (˜ 5 Mpc) permits us to obtain linear resolution an order of magnitude better than can be obtained for the more powerful, distant radio galaxies. Thus one can hope to make meaningful comparisons between the morphologies seen over the electromagnetic spectrum from γ-rays to metre waves. This should lead to a more complete understanding of the energy production mechanisms and evolutionary histories of these objects.
