Scientific paper

Multiconfiguration VLA observations of Cygnus A at lambda = 6 cm have been used to produce detailed maps of exceptional dynamic range. A radio jet extends from the core into the northwest lobe. The broad radio lobes revealed an unexpected wealth of filamentary structure, from which two new hot spots were identified. For more information on this study, please see the following reference: Perley, R. A., Dreher, J. W., & Cowan, J. J. 1984, ApJL, 285, L35. The image and related TeX file come from the NRAO CDROM "Images From the Radio Universe" (c. 1992 National Radio Astronomy Observatory, used with permission).
