1733-565: A Compact Radio Galaxy at Low Galactic Latitude

Abstract

The strong unidentified radio source 1733-565 (≡ PKS 1733-56) was chosen as a test source during the commissioning of the Molonglo Observatory Synthesis Telescope (MOST) in 1981 July. Previous radio maps have been obtained at 1410 MHz with the Parkes interferometer (Schwarz et al. 1974), at 408 MHz with the Molonglo Cross (Schilizzi & McAdam 1975) and at 1415 MHz with the Fleurs Synthesis Telescope (Christiansen et al. 1977).
