. Comment on J1130-1449 . There are two dominant components in our image. Comparison with the 15 GHz image of Kellermann et al. (1998) reveals that the western component is brighter at the higher frequency, indicating that the brighter (eastern) component in our image may have a steep spectrum. VLBApls home page .
