A sample of small size compact steep-spectrum radio sources. VLBI images and VLA polarization at 5 GHz

Global Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) observations at 5 GHz have been performed to study the source morphology in 10 compact steep-spectrum (CSS) sources selected from the Peacock & Wall catalogue with the aim of finding asymmetric structures produced by the interaction with the ambient medium. The combination of these data and earlier 1.7-GHz observations allows the study of the spectra...
