    The JVAS/Class Gravitational Lens Surveys

    The JVAS/CLASS surveys are designed to find gravitational lens systems in which the flat spectrum cores of radio sources are multiply imaged. The prime motivation for the searches is to find systems from which...

    Constraining the Value of the Cosmological Constant Using JVAS/Class Lensing Statistics

    The Jodrell Bank VLA Astrometric Survey (JVAS) (Patnaik et al., 1992) and the Cosmic Lens All-Sky Survey (CLASS) (Myers et al., 1995) aim to observe 10,000 flat spectrum radio sources. So far ∼ 7,500 have been ob...

    The Angular Size-Redshift Test for Compact Radio Sources in the Caltech-Jodrell Bank Surveys

    In 1958 Hoyle first suggested that the angular separation of the components of large double radio sources might be used as a standard rod in the classical angular diameter vs. redshift (θ-z) test (Hoyle 1959). Th...

    Observations and Predictions of the Ratio of 3-Image to 5-Image Systems in JVAS

    In JVAS we find more 5-image systems than 3-image systems. On conventional assumptions, we predict the ratio to be ∽5:1.

    A disrupted radio jet inside the host galaxy of the quasar 3C48

    THE nearby quasar 3C48 was the first to be optically identified1, and its redshift, z = 0.368 (ref. 2), was the second, after that of 3C2733, to be determined. Despite this pedigree, its detailed radio structure ...
