Anisotropy of the space orientation of radio sources. II: The axis distribution function

An analysis of the position angles distribution of 10461 extended radio sources shows that the spatial orientation of the axes of these objects is anisotropic: they avoid the direction towards the Celestial Pole and are mostly oriented in the equatorial direction. The ratio of the probability densities of the orientation in these two directions is 0.68. The probability that the sky distribution of axes is isotropic is less then 0.00004. This conclusion is consistent with the results of the analyses of the spatial distribution of galactic normals orientation in the galaxies from UGC, ESO and FGC catalogs
