- Based on observations made with the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope, obtained at the Space Telescope Science Institute, which is operated by the Association of
Universities for Research in Astronomy, Inc. under NASA contract No. NAS5-26555. These observations are associated with proposals #5980 and #7848. Also based on observations obtained at the NRAO's VLA. The National Radio Astronomy Observatory is a facility of the
National Science Foundation operated under cooperative agreement by
Associated Universities, Inc.

- For the
conversion of angular to physical scales, we assume a flat cosmology
with
and
H0 = h70
,
leading to a scale of
per second of arc at 3C 273's redshift of 0.158.

- Slightly larger breaks may be possible by
assuming certain source conditions, systematically varying magnetic
fields, for example (Wilson 1975).
