Scientific paper

The authors have observed the active, radio-lobe spiral galaxy, NGC 3079, with a VLBI network, with successful detections on all baselines. The nucleus is found to consist of a binary source, along with a fainter, more extended component between the binary. The positions, sizes, and fluxes of each component are suggestive of jetlike outflow from a central compact object, and the authors suggest that a nuclear jet is largely responsible for the kiloparsec scale outer radio lobes. Such a jet can be focused in the direction of the lobes along the minor axis by the gas distribution and dynamics in the disk of the galaxy.
