Comment on J2246-1206 . In contrast to the jet pointing to the NE in our image, the 5 GHz VLBI image of Shen et al. (1998) shows no indication of extended emission above the 20 mJy/beam level. Hong et al. (1999) find a jet component to the SE and identify that with a "superluminal" component possibly ejected in 1992. A 15 GHz image from the USNO database, taken nearly at the same epoch as the image of Hong et al. (1999) does not show any component at this position angle. ...

Keep the size of the tarfile to a minimum by excluding files that can be recreated from files contained in the tarfile. Examples are: .o (object) files that can be recreated by compiling the program source code.dvi files produced by processing TeX and LaTeX source files.ps (postscript) files generated by drawing and publishing packages.
