Description:
VLBI observations at three epochs spanning 7 yr. reveals possible superluminal motion of the nucleus of the lobe-dominated quasar 3C 334. This is the third lobe-dominated quasar confirmed or suspected to be superluminal in a complete, flux density-limited sample of these objects, and the sixth including other surveys. The result continues the trend for lobe-dominated quasars to have lower superluminal speeds than core-dominated quasars, and coupled with other radio properties that are indicators of source orientation, it is consistent with the simple relativistic beaming model in a randomly oriented sample.
