  • The Radio Source Projected Near the Absorption-Line QSO PHL 5200 
    Gopal-Krishna (Astronomical Society of India, 1978-12)
    Some recently discovered properties of the radio source 4C - 05.93 are summarised. Their relevance to the observed absorption-line spectrum of the QSO PHL 5200, which is located onl 1 arcmin away from the radio source, is ...
