| 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) |
| J2000 Name |
Name
based on J2000 coordinates |
| R.A. and Dec.
(J2000) |
Right
ascension and declination coordinates of flat spectrum radio core from
NED (epoch J2000) |
| Optical Class |
Optical
spectral classification from Veron-Cetty and Veron (2003) and other
catalogs: G = Radio Galaxy U = Unidentified (no known optical counterpart). LPRQ = quasar with fractional linear optical polarization consistently below 3% HPRQ = quasar with fractional linear optical polarization above 3% on at least one occasion. Q = quasar with no available optical polarization data. |
| Redshift |
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) |
| Luminosity
Distance |
Luminosity
distance in megaparsecs, assuming Ho = 70 km/s/Mpc ,
Omega_lambda = 0.7 and Omega_m = 0.3. The angular scaling
conversion is given in parsecs per milliarcsecond. |
| Gamma-ray
loud? |
EGRET
gamma-ray classification according to Mattox et al. 2001,
Sowerds-Emmerd et al. 2003, 2004: Y = highly probable identification P = probable identification N = no gamma-ray counterpart detected by EGRET |
| Kpc-scale
morphology |
Description
of radio morphology on arcsecond scales: core: unresolved core component only. one-sided: emission on one side of unresolved core component. two-sided: emission on both sides of unresolved core component. halo: additional faint diffuse emission surrounding unresolved core. |
| Maximum Jet
Speed: |
Maximum
measured jet speed of any component in units of milliarcseconds per
year and the speed of light. |
| Separation
vs. time plot |
Plot
of separation of fitted Gaussian components from the (presumed
stationary) core component versus time. These plots are subject to
change as new MOJAVE data are added. |
| Comments: |
General
comments regarding the source and its spectrum (mainly for
internal
use). |
