A study of FRII radio galaxies with z<0.15. I. High-resolution maps of eight sources at 3.6 cm.
Abstract
VLA maps of total intensity and fractional polarization at 3.6 cm are presented for eight radio galaxies, part of a sample of 30 nearby FRII sources with P_178_> 2 X 10^25^ W Hz^-1^ sr^-1^. High-sensitivity images of the hotspots (with resolutions of 0.25 and 0.75 arcsec and average noise levels of ~30 microJy) show strikingly different and complex structures. Jets are found in six of the sources.
