Abstract:
We discuss the statistics of projection on the sky of a simple model
for radio sources. The model has a core and two hot spots at unequal
distance with an overall structure which is bent at the core. We
examine the distributions or the observed sizes and bend angles in 114
quasars and 78 radio galaxies with z<2, from our own data. We find
that the observations are well matched by this model with (a) a size
distribution matching the observed one, (b) core-hotspot length
differences between 0 and 45kpc, and (c) bend angles distributed
between 0deg and ∼25deg, where quasars are seen within 50deg of the
source axis, and radio galaxies are seen at greater angles. We discuss
the implications of these fits to unified models and source evolution.
