STUDY RESULTS FROM V.H. MALUMIAN AND COLLEAGUES IN THE AREA OF ASTROPHYSICS PUBLISHED

Science Letter
January 12, 2010

According to recent research published in the journal Astrophysics,
"The spectral and kinematic properties of GPS and CSS radio sources
and methods for determining their ages are discussed."

"The data presented here do not support a mechanism of accretion of
dust or molecular gas on massive black holes located in the central
regions of radio galaxies of these classes as the source of their
activity. The nature of GPS and CSS objects has not been fully
clarified," wrote V.H. Malumian and colleagues (see also Astrophysics).

The researchers concluded: "Further detailed studies in the optical,
radio, and other spectral ranges will be required in order to establish
the true nature of this class of source."

Malumian and colleagues published their study in Astrophysics (GPS
AND CSS RADIO SOURCES. Astrophysics, 2009;52(4):494-500).
