The four targets with the most clearly defined jetted emission, which enable common jet properties to be derived. The top row shows the VLA 6βGHz images, where the blue contours are from the e-MERLIN natural-weighted images. The VLA 6βGHz images are represented by red contours in all panels. The middle row shows the natural-weighted e-MERLIN images and the bottom row shows the e-MERLIN tapered images. The components used for calculations are labelled in the middle row (see Section 4.3).

What drives radio emission in the faintest radio-quiet quasars? Are these radio-AGN quasars distinct from other similar compact radio sources?
Ann Njeri and collaborators present the highest-ever spatial resolution radio studies of these targets: e-merlin.ac.uk/news.html#QFS
