Image Details
Caption: Figure 51.
20 m X-band raster of Centaurus A, background-subtracted, with a 7 beamwidth scale (larger than the minimum recommended scale from Table 1, given the size of the source), time-delay-corrected, RFI-subtracted, with a 0.8 beamwidth scale (Table 2), and surface-modeled, with a minimum weighting scale of 2/3 beamwidths (right). The radio jet is marginally resolved and oriented correctly with respect to the galaxy (left). Optical picture of NGC 5128 taken with Skynet’s PROMPT-2 telescope at Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory, courtesy of the Star Shadows Remote Observatory astrophotography group.
