My Work
Spectral Analysis of Image A , Image B and
Region C with the help of -- GLOBAL VLBI observations at 18cm and 6cm HSA observations at 3.6cm
To look for any counterparts of Region C components in Images A and B which will confirm Koopmans Scenario

Spectra of components in Region C
Comparing spectra of a2+a5 and C
Summary
High resolution maps reveal more subcomponents in Images A and B demonstrating the expected opposite parity
Similarity in the spectra of C with the north-west sub-components in A and B are consistent with the Koopmans scenario
