Quasi-simultaneous radio spectra of 34 FR0s were obtained at 2.25-22.3 GHz with the radio telescope RATAN-600 in 2020-2021 during 2-6 epochs. Most FR0s have flat radio spectra, but we found many spectra with a peaked shape. Due to this fact and the compact nature of FR0s, we suggest their possible relationship with CSS/GPS radio sources. We analyzed broadband radio spectra of the 34 FR0s using the RATAN-600 measurements and available literature data. There are 14 FR0 objects which can be CSS/GPS radio source candidates. Most FR0s have broader radio spectra than those of genuine GPS sources, with FWHM > 2 like in blazars. Most spectral indices at the frequencies below and above the peak do not correspond to the values typical of canonical GPS sources. We classified 3 FR0s as low-power GPS sources according to the canonical criteria. The key issue is the variability properties of FR0s. Some FR0s demonstrate a variability level of up to 25 % on a time scale of one year according to the RATAN-600 measurements. The flare phenomena in FR0 objects can imply a relationship between them and blazars.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2021-11-11T10:50:48.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "fr0 radio galaxies", "relationship", "css/gps radio source candidates", "fr0 objects", "flat radio spectra" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 4, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
