Is this what looking "down" on a two lobe source is like?

  • JeanTate by JeanTate

    Imagine we are looking almost, but not quite, "down the barrel" of a jet from the AGN in the core. We'd see the core, and the internal structure of each lobe, each of which would be slightly displaced from the core. The "near" lobe would be brighter and (possibly) larger than the far one. Much like what's in ARG0003byd, perhaps?
