Field
Description
Common Name
Alternate name from 3C, 4C, CTA, NRAO, Ohio or other surveys
B1950 Name
IAU name based on B1950 coordinates (click on link to access NED database)
R.A. and Dec.
Right ascension and declination coordinates of flat spectrum radio core (epoch J2000)
Opt. ID
Optical spectral classification from Veron-Cetty and Veron (2003) and other catalogs:
Q = quasar, B = BL Lac object, G = Radio Galaxy, U = Unidentified (no known optical counterpart).
z
Optical redshift of host galaxy from NED
Radio Spectrum
Description of cm-wave (radio) spectrum:
Flat = spectral index flatter than -0.7
Steep = spectral index steeper than -0.7
CSS = compact steep spectrum (steeper than -0.7 and size < 20 kpc)
GPS/1 = gigahertz-peaked spectrum (GPS) with one-sided VLBI jets
GPS/2 = gigahertz-peaked spectrum (GPS) with two-sided VLBI jets (a.k.a.. compact symmetric object)
FERMI 2FGLHigh confidence Fermi 2FGL association name (J2000)
R Mag.
Optical R magnitude from USNO B1 Catalog (Monet et al. 2003)
Max. Speed
Maximum measured jet speed as of Sept 16, 2006. These values are subject to further refinement based on new MOJAVE data.
S_median @ 2cm
Median correlated VLBA flux density at 2 cm. These are calculated by taking the median of the integrated flux density in the VLBA map over all epochs on the particular source. The latter are published in Kovalev et al. 2005, AJ 130, 2473.
