Scientific paper

Compact Symmetric Objects (CSOs) are a class of powerful extragalactic radio sources defined as being smaller than 1 kpc in overall size and two symmetric lobes on both sides of the central activity. There are increasing evidences where CSOs are very young (< 10,000 yr) from the measurements of hot-spot advance and synchrotron-aging studies. In this paper the author reviews the VLBI measurements of kinematic and synchrotron ages of CSOs. Finally he describes implications to the radio source evolution, and mentions whether CSOs are indeed young progenitors to FRII radio sources.
