The Radio Spectra of High Luminosity Compact Symmetric Objects (CSO-2s): Implications for Studies of Compact Jetted Active Galactic Nuclei

P. V. de la Parra, A. C. S Readhead, T. Herbig +18

This paper addresses, for the first time, a key aspect of the phenomenology of Compact Symmetric Objects (CSOs) -- the characteristics of their radio spectra. We present a radio-sp…

Compact Symmetric Objects -- III Evolution of the High-Luminosity Branch and a Possible Connection with Tidal Disruption Events

A. C. S. Readhead, V. Ravi, R. D. Blandford +18

We use a sample of 54 Compact Symmetric Objects (CSOs) to confirm that there are two unrelated CSO classes: an edge-dimmed, low-luminosity class (CSO~1), and an edge-brightened, hi…

Compact Symmetric Objects -- II Confirmation of a Distinct Population of High-Luminosity Jetted Active Galaxies

S. Kiehlmann, A. C. S. Readhead, S. O'Neill +10

Compact Symmetric Objects (CSOs) are compact (<1 kpc), jetted Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN), whose jet axes are not aligned close to the line of sight, and whose observed emission i…

Compact Symmetric Objects -- I Towards a Comprehensive Bona Fide Catalog

S. Kiehlmann, M. L. Lister, A. C. S. Readhead +8

Compact Symmetric Objects (CSOs) are jetted Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) with overall projected size <1 kpc. The classification was introduced to distinguish these objects from the…

What defines a compact symmetric object? A carefully vetted sample of CSOs

Anthony C. S. Readhead, Sebastian Kiehlmann, Matthew L. Lister +6

Compact Symmetric Objects (CSOs), young jetted-AGN of overall projected size <1 kpc, are of great interest due to their youth and evolution. The classification was introduced to di…
