Modern radio maps usually allow quasars to be recognized from their radio morphology alone. Most have strong central components, double lobed outer structure and one-sided jets connecting the inner and outer structures. The physics of the sources is poorly understood. The observed bending of the jets, the high minimum pressures observed, and the required energy supply to the lobes are major problems. However, the outstanding problem regarding the extended structure is whether or not this morphology is produced by special relativistic effects or the intrinsic activity level and physics of the radio sources.
