Note (1): H0=50km/s/Mpc and q0=0.5 is assumed

Note (2): Ratio fo the distances of the outermost hotspots at opposite sides
           from the radio core or the optical identification. Q>1 by definition
Note (3): F=S1/S2, where S1 is the flux density of the lobe farther from the
           core and S2 is the flux density of the lobe loser to the core
Note (4): Flux%=(Score+Slobes)/Stot, where Score is the flux density of the
           core, Slobes=S1+S2 is the flux density of the lobes and Stot is the
           total flux density of the source measured with a single dish radio
           telescope
Note (5): 'G': galaxy
          'Q': Quasar
          ' ': unidentified
Note (6): *: No actual radio map was available and the structural data was
              taken from tabular material
