Scientific paper

Observations of compact radio sources conducted with very long baseline interferometry methods have shown that the components of some radio sources seem to move apart with relative velocities more than twice the speed of light. A model for compact extragalactic radio sources presented by Sanders is considered (1974). In this model apparent superluminal expansion arises naturally and radiating particles move at relativistic velocities along dipole magnetic field lines. Sanders discusses the relationship of this proposal to other explanations of superluminal velocities in compact radio sources. However, he incorrectly evaluated the consequences of the dipole field model, obtaining results both for the magnitude of the expansion velocity and its time dependence that are in conflict with observations. An investigation is conducted in which the valid geometrical consequences of the model are presented. It is shown that these consequences agree with available observations.
