double radio source
A radio galaxy in which the bulk of radio emission comes from two sources on opposite sides of the visual galaxy. The radiation is due to the violent expulsion from the nucleus of the parent galaxy of high speed energetic particles in two opposite directions. About one-third of all known radio galaxies are double sources.
