The Radio Structure of Compact Steep Spectrum Radio Sources
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 03 August 2017
Extract
Compact Steep Spectrum (CSS) radio sources are defined as having straight steep spectra typical of extended double-lobed radio sources and structures unresolved by conventional interferometers (Peacock and Wall 1982; van Breugel et al., 1984; Fanti et al., 1985). Their spectra remain straight up to quite high frequencies, indicating that no dominant core is present. Sometimes the spectrum bends at frequencies lower than 1 GHz. The angular sizes imply projected linear sizes generally < 10 kpc.
