摘要
I present 1.5- and 8.4-GHz observations with ail configurations of the NRAO VLA of the wide-angle tail source 3C 130. The source has a pair of relatively symmetrical, well-collimated inner jets, one of which terminates in a compact hotspot. Archival ROSAT PSPC data confirm that the environment of 3C 130 is a luminous cluster with little sign of sub-structure in the X-ray-emitting plasma. I compare the source to other wide-angle tail objects and discuss the properties of the class as a whole. None of the currently popular models is entirely satisfactory in accounting for the disruption of the jets in 3C 130.
