FIRST-based survey of compact steep spectrum sources - III. MERLIN and VLBI observations of subarcsecond-scale objects

摘要

Context. According to a generally accepted paradigm, small intrinsic sizes of Compact Steep Spectrum (CSS) radio sources are a direct consequence of their youth, but in later stages of their evolution they are believed to become large-scale sources. However, this notion was established mainly for strong CSS sources.
