Abstract
We present 74-MHz data of 365 B3 VLA sources, which were obtained as a by-product of the observations of Tschager et al. (2003, A&A, 402, 171) who observed a large area of sky with the VLA in A-array. Apart from the lowest-frequency observations of B3 VLA sources performed so far contributing to our on-going multi-frequency study of this survey, these A-array data also provide the first morphological information at this low frequency. The most intriguing result is the discovery of two new Giant Radio Galaxy candidates, B3 1232+397B at a redshift of 3.22 and B3 1419+419 at a redshift of 0.367. This means that B3 1232+397B would be the most distant GRG known to date. At the same time, these two objects are two new examples of sources with recurrent activity. Our results give a foretaste of the impact which extremely low-frequency radio continuum observations will have for the study of source evolution.

What is OpenURL?

The OpenURL standard is a protocol for transmission of metadata describing the resource that you wish to access. An OpenURL link contains article metadata and directs it to the OpenURL server of your choice. The OpenURL server can provide access to the resource and also offer complementary services (specific search engine, export of references...). The OpenURL link can be generated by different means.
  • If your librarian has set up your subscription with an OpenURL resolver, OpenURL links appear automatically on the abstract pages.
  • You can define your own OpenURL resolver with your EDPS Account. In this case your choice will be given priority over that of your library.
  • You can use an add-on for your browser (Firefox or I.E.) to display OpenURL links on a page (see http://www.openly.com/openurlref/). You should disable this module if you wish to use the OpenURL server that you or your library have defined.
