Abstract
The image of the 3C280 radio galaxy at decimeter wavelengths consists of two emission regions, the centers of which are separated by about 13 arc seconds. These regions are lobes of the radio galaxy with bright compact components or hot spots embedded in them. We present the results of a study of the source structure in the decameter wavelength range, carried out with the URAN-1 – URAN-4 radio interferometers using a especially technique developed. We show, that at the decameter wavelengths, the source model contains two extended components with the size and position as the lobes have in the decimeter range and a compact detail corresponding to one of the hot spots. The radio emission of other hot spots is not detected at the decameter waves due to their low flux density. The spectra of the radio galaxy components and their variation in the range from decameter to decimeter wavelengths are determined in this study. It is found, that extended lobes provide about 70% of 3C280 flux at low frequencies in contrast to the high-frequency image of the radio galaxy, where compact hot spots predominate in the source radiation.
