Are 3C249.1 and 3C334 restarted quasars?

TL;DR

This paper investigates whether the radio-loud quasars 3C249.1 and 3C334 are restarted sources by applying a mathematical model, suggesting they, like a previously studied source, have undergone restart events.

Contribution

It extends the restarted quasar scenario to 3C249.1 and 3C334, providing a new interpretation of their structures based on a mathematical model.

Findings

3C249.1 and 3C334 can be explained as restarted quasars

The model supports the restarted source hypothesis for these quasars

Reinterpretation of their radio structures as evidence of restart events

Abstract

This Research Note follows up a Letter in which I posit that J1211+743 is a restarted radio source. This means that its structure, where the jet points to the relic lobe, is only apparently paradoxical. Here, I propose the same scenario and apply the same mathematical model to 3C249.1 and 3C334. The ultimate result of my investigation is that these two well-known radio-loud quasars can be understood best so far if it was assumed that they, too, had been restarted.
