基于FIRST的紧凑陡谱源调查,V. CSS物体的毫角秒尺度形态

FIRST-based survey of Compact Steep Spectrum sources, V. Milliarcsecond-scale morphology of CSS objects

Magdalena Kunert-Bajraszewska, Andrzej Marecki

摘要:

多频VLBA观测的最后一组的10个对象在一个样本的FIRST为基础的紧凑陡谱(CSS)源。选择该样本是为了调查此类物体是否可能是在其进化的早期阶段关闭的无线电波活动星系核的遗迹,或者可能表明间歇性活动。最初的观测是使用MERLIN在5 GHz。现在已经在1.7、5和8.4 GHz的VLBA上以相位参考的快照模式观测到了这些源。所得到的地图连同未发表的8.4 GHz VLA图像的五个源。这里讨论的一些来源显示了复杂的无线电形态,因此在某些情况下,可能表明间歇性活动的复杂过去。其中一个被研究的来源- 1045+352 -被称为强大的无线电和红外发光宽吸收线(BAL)类星体。它是一个年轻的CSS天体,其不对称的两侧形态在几百秒差距的尺度上,向两个不同的方向延伸,可能表明间歇性的活动。1045+352的年轻和致密结构与BAL类星体的演化相一致。还证实了1045+352的亚毫米通量会受到同步辐射的严重污染。

英文摘要:

Multifrequency VLBA observations of the final group of ten objects in a sample of FIRST-based compact steep spectrum (CSS) sources are presented. The sample was selected to investigate whether objects of this kind could be relics of radio-loud AGNs switched off at very early stages of their evolution or possibly to indicate intermittent activity. Initial observations were made using MERLIN at 5 GHz. The sources have now been observed with the VLBA at 1.7, 5 and 8.4 GHz in a snapshot mode with phase-referencing. The resulting maps are presented along with unpublished 8.4-GHz VLA images of five sources. Some of the sources discussed here show a complex radio morphology and therefore a complicated past that, in some cases, might indicate intermittent activity. One of the sources studied - 1045+352 - is known as a powerful radio and infrared-luminous broad absorption line (BAL) quasar. It is a young CSS object whose asymmetric two-sided morphology on a scale of several hundred parsecs, extending in two different directions, may suggest intermittent activity. The young age and compact structure of 1045+352 is consistent with the evolution scenario of BAL quasars. It has also been confirmed that the submillimetre flux of 1045+352 can be seriously contaminated by synchrotron emission.
