Extract

Radio position measurements with an error of <2” arc rms allow reliable optical identifications of compact radio sources to be made solely on the basis of radio-optical position coincidence. In this way neutral or red stellar objects, faint compact galaxies and faint QSOs can be reliably identified. Such identifications are of particular interest because they are rich in BL Lac objects, high-redshift QSOs, QSOs with unusual optical emission or absorption spectra and galaxies with active nuclei (see Jauncey et al. 1978).
