几种AGN喷流在亚秒差距到秒差距尺度上的法拉第旋转测量和磁场结构研究

Investigation of the Faraday Rotation Measure and Magnetic Field Structures of Several AGN Jets on Sub-Parsec to Parsec Scales

Shane P. O'Sullivan, Denise C. Gabuzda

摘要:

这里给出了6个从6.5厘米到7毫米的“blazar”的初步VLBA偏振结果。在几个不同的波长上进行观测,通过短时间和长时间的间隔,可以获得关于磁场(B)结构的可靠信息,并确定和校正法拉第旋转的影响。对于所有来源的核心旋转测量(RM)的幅度来自较短的波长数据大于来自较长的波长数据,与更高的电子密度和/或B场强度接近中央引擎一致。在0954+658的射流中检测到横向RM梯度,为射流周围螺旋B场的存在提供了证据。RM在核心区域的2200+420(BL Lac)显示在不同的波长间隔(在不同的空间尺度上)的符号变化,我们建议对此的解释在适度弯曲的螺旋B-场周围的射流。

英文摘要:

Preliminary VLBA polarisation results on 6 ``blazars'' from 6.5-cm to 7-mm are presented here. Observing at several different wavelengths, separated by short and long intervals, enabled reliable information about the magnetic (B) field structure to be obtained and for the effect of Faraday Rotation to be determined and corrected. For all sources the magnitude of the core Rotation Measure (RM) derived from the shorter wavelength data was greater than that derived from the longer wavelength data, consistent with a higher electron density and/or B-field strength closer to the central engine. A transverse RM gradient was detected in the jet of 0954+658, providing evidence for the presence of a helical B-field surrounding the jet. The RM in the core region of 2200+420 (BL Lac) displays sign changes in different wavelength intervals (on different spatial scales); we suggest an explanation for this in terms of modest bends in a helical B-field surrounding the jet.
