Extract

Radio contours are presented for Fornax A (NGC 1316), Virgo A (NGC 4486) and the central component of Centaurus A (NGC 5128). These three objects are intrinsically strong radio emitters identified with bright galaxies. The work forms part of a survey of all bright galaxies with the Molonglo cross down to a corrected total magnitude of 11m.0 with an extension down to photographic magnitude 12m.5 in an limited region of the sky.
