Chasing the path of a precessing jet in a compact jetted radio galaxy
We propose to observe the GHz-Peaked-Spectrum (GPS) radio galaxy 0941-080 at 1.7 and 5 GHz with EVN+eMERLIN to study its intriguing radio morphology in detail from subarcsecond to milliarcsecond angular scales. With the proposed observations we would be able to investigate the emission properties of the different source components in order to test our hypothesis that this source is confined in the host galaxy for the presence of a radio jet precessing at large angles. This result would lay the foundations for observing in detail our entire complete sample of GPS sources to look for precessing jets, which may significantly slow down the global growth of the radio source in an important fraction of compact jetted radio galaxies.
