We use a sample of 54 Compact Symmetric Objects (CSOs) to confirm that there are two unrelated CSO classes: an edge-dimmed, low-luminosity class (CSO~1), and an edge-brightened, high-luminosity class (CSO~2). Using blind tests, we show that…

Symmetric extragalactic radio sources exhibit a baffling array of features - the remarkable symmetry between the two lobes, the emission in the radio frequency range, well collimated jets, core regions emitting blue and ultraviolet light,…

We present results of multi-frequency VLBA observations of the compact symmetric object (CSO) 0402+379. The parsec-scale morphology of 0402+379 allows us to confirm it as a CSO, while VLA data clearly show the presence of kiloparsec-scale…

Compact symmetric objects (CSOs) are thought to be short-lived radio sources with two lobes of emission that are separated by less than a kpc in projection. However, studies of such systems at high redshift is challenging due to the limited…
