Multiple Choice
What is the relationship between blazars (intense, rapidly varying nonthermal sources of polarized radio radiation) and double-lobed radio sources?
A) A blazar is an early view of a superluminous supernova, which will eventually evolve into a double radio source as matter expands outward.
B) A blazar appears to be what is left in space after all the surrounding matter has been devoured by a black hole, whereas a double radio source still has matter spiraling into the black hole.
C) A blazar is now considered to be the end-on view of a double radio source, looking along one of the relativistic particle jets emitted from the central core.
D) A blazar is the central "engine" that generates the energy for the relativistic particle beams that produce the double radio lobes.
