NED object is MESSIER 087; Reference is 1980ApJ...242..511D
Fig. 1. - Contour map of M87 at 1465MHz. The clean-beam half-power ellipse
is shown in the inset. Each map contour corresponds to a surface brightness of
800 mJy per beam area. The optical position of the M87 nucleus (Turland 1975)
is indicated by the large cross, and the three small crosses mark the
brightest knots in the optical jet (de Vaucouleurs, Angione, and Fraser 1968).
The linear distance scale is based on a distance of 20 Mpc to M87.
