Scientific paper

The quasar/galaxy unification hypothesis based on pure orientation has been investigated using the observed linear size (D)-luminosity (P) relation for a sample of radio sources at low frequency. It was found that the quasar D-P slope and intercept exceeded that of radio galaxies by a factor of about 5 and 3, respectively. The observed relation appeared to contradict that expected in a random source orientation hypothesis in which the FRII radio galaxies would be seen as a quasar if their orientation angle is within 44° to the line of sight. The result rather suggested an intrinsic difference in the size distribution between radio galaxies and quasars even at similar luminosities and redshifts.
