The analysis is based on VLA 1465-MHz observations of GB and GB2 sources (Machalski et al. 1982; Machalski and Condon 1983a, 1983b). From those flux-density limited samples compact sources were selected. The following definition of source “compactness” has been used Subjects of analysis were: (a) fraction of compact sources among radio galaxies, quasars, and “empty field” sources, (b) identification rate vs. high-frequency spectral index for compact sources, (c) spectral-index distributions for compact identified and/or EF sources, (d) flux-density ratio for double compact sources, and (e) correlation between radio and optical luminosities for compact sources.
