Valtonen, M. J. Abstract According to the slingshot theory, supermassive objects are ejected from galactic nuclei through an instability of a system of three bodies, and they appear as radio source components on both sides of the galaxy. A major difficulty is often thought to arise from the observed symmetry of radio sources with respect to the central galaxy and the tendency of three-body systems to break up asymmetrically. It is shown that there is actually no difficulty in reconciling the theory with existing observations when allowance is made for the fact that asymmetric radio sources do exist, even though not as commonly as symmetric ones, and that the ejected objects have nonzero radii.
