Note (1): Optical identification:
G: galaxy
BL: BL lac object
Q: QSO
S: Seyfert galaxy
S1: Seyfert 1 galaxy
S1.5: Seyfert 1.5 galaxy
S2: Seyfert 2 galaxy
S3: Seyfert 3 galaxy
Note (2): Sidedness of the outer 90% of the jets classification.
We adopted the same definition as in Bridle (1986, Can. J. Phys. 64,
353) and Bridle & Perley (1984ARA&A..22..319B 1984ARA&A..22..319B): one side "1", two side
"2", and transition "T", according to the ratio of luminosities
between the brighter and fainter jets, larger than 4, less than 4, or
intermediate. The ratio is usually higher near the core and becomes
smaller towards the end of a jet. There is no special physical reason
to use 4 instead of other values.
Note (3): Jet morphology code:
C: C-symmetry
S: S-symmetry
L: L-shape
B: very complicated
Note (4): Jet position angle at the nearest to the core.
The letters N, E, S, W, NE, SE, NW, and SW represent north, east,
south, west, north-east, south-east, north-west, and south-west,
respectively. We used the position angle to identify the jets in a
radio source.
If the difference of position angles of a jet on pc- and kpc- scales
is significant, we used the one detected on the kpc-scale.
If the jet is one-sided or one jet is significantly brighter than the
other one in two-sided sources, the letters C-J follow the counter
(weaker) jet.
