Radio images of the inner source in A496. (a): VLITE 340 MHz image. The beam is 7″ × 4″, in PA −2° and noise is 1σ = 0.66 mJy/beam. (b): GMRT 617 MHz image. The beam is 6″ × 5″, in PA −54° and 1σ = 0.47 mJy/beam. (c): VLA–B configuration combined image at 1.4 GHz. The image has been restored with a 5″ circular beam. The noise is 1σ = 0.1 mJy/beam. (d): VLA–C configuration image at 4.7 GHz. The image has been restored with a 4″ circular beam. The noise is 1σ = 0.03 mJy/beam. In all panels, contours are spaced by a factor of 2 starting from +3σ. Contours at −3σ mJy/beam are shown as dashed lines. The boxed ellipse or circle shows the beam size. The white cross marks the optical peak (Fig. 1). In panel (a), the magenta box is as in Fig. 3.
