Radiation of extended electromagnetic sources moving near the surface of a chiral medium

Current-carrying and charged filaments moving in vacuum along the plane surface of a semiinfinite chiral medium are investigated. The electromagnetic fields and energy losses due to radiation are found in both cases. The dependence of the radiation losses on the chirality constant is given.
