摘要:

我们提出的第一个结果,从多频VLBA观测3C273在2003年。在5.0,8.4,15.3,22.2,43.2和86.2 GHz的同时观察到的源,并从这个多频数据集,在秒差距尺度射流的16个发射功能的光谱仔细构造使用一个新的模型拟合为基础的方法。测量的光谱和大小的发射功能被用来计算的磁场密度和能量密度的相对论电子在不同部分的秒差距尺度喷流,独立于任何均分假设。我们测量了核心中1高斯量级的磁场密度。在核心的磁能密度占主导地位的相对论电子,而在下游区域,我们的数据大致符合均分。在整个射流宽度的磁场密度的一个强梯度,符合横向速度结构在约1.5质量的核心,被发现:较慢的超光速组件B2的北侧的射流具有磁场密度两个数量级低于南部的组件B3和B4。

英文摘要:

We present first results from a multifrequency VLBA observations of 3C273 in 2003. The source was observed simultaneously at 5.0, 8.4, 15.3, 22.2, 43.2 and 86.2 GHz, and from this multifrequency data set, spectra of 16 emission features in the parsec scale jet were carefully constructed by using a new model-fitting based method. The measured spectra and sizes of the emission features were used to calculate the magnetic field density and the energy density of the relativistic electrons in the different parts of the parsec scale jet, independent of any equipartition assumption. We measure magnetic field density of an order of 1 Gauss in the core. The magnetic energy density in the core dominates over that of the relativistic electrons, while in the downstream region our data are roughly consistent with an equipartition. A strong gradient in the magnetic field density across the jet width, coincident with a transverse velocity structure at about 1.5 mas from the core, was found: the slower superluminal component B2 on the northern side of the jet has a magnetic field density two orders of magnitude lower than the faster southern components B3 and B4.
