Images of 3C 84 system from the kiloparsec to parsec scales relevant for this study. Left: continuum map at 90 cm (Pedlar et al. 1990; angular resolution of ∼5″ ≃ 1.8 kpc) in grey contours superimposed on the map of molecular gas (Lim et al. 2008; resolution 3″ ≡ 1.1 kpc, black contours), with the X-ray image from Fabian et al. (2011) in the background. Second panel from the left: image at ∼1″ ≡ 360 pc resolution at 1380 MHz from Pedlar et al. (1990) showing the continuum structure against which the H I is seen in absorption. Last two panels on the right: were obtained using the VLBA at 330 MHz and 1.4 GHz by Silver et al. (1998) and show, in addition to the core-jet structure (right), a diffuse, extended structure (which they call mini-halo) on larger scales (∼200 pc ≡ radius).
