Abstract
AbstractA sample of 339 extragalactic radio sources, noted as extended or multiple in the Molonglo Reference Catalogue, has been observed with the Molonglo Observatory Synthesis Telescope at 843 MHz. It is found that the strong sources all have edge-brightened morphology, while weak sources may be edge-brightened or edge-darkened. The morphological classification of Fanaroff and Riley is not a sharp division by luminosity. The degree of edge-darkening or edge-brightening is better parametrised by one-dimensional moments along the major axis than by the ratio of the separation between brightness maxima to the total extent as used by FR.
